Your Bike in front of a Church

[plantfit]

Curious brickwork under the left window.
Someone tunelled out in the past?
Or been bricked in?

Just odd areas been re-pointed,no obvious signs of tunnelling but you never know

Then from Shotesham, also in Norfolk, are the ruins of St. Martin's with the intact St. Mary's visible in the background

(Yes it was that grey & gloomy all day)

Blimey, that's some serious buttressing and wotnots on the tower - I'm guessing it took all that to stop it falling down! Even the buttresses look seriously wonky!

It's a very well looked after church these days and well off the beaten track

My great grandfather was the organist as Temple Church in Bristol before it was bombed in WW2, and that has a tower which is famously wonky... it started to lean before they had finished building it, and you can see where they tried to straighten it up... they hadn't quite worked out how to do foundations hundreds of years ago... trial and quite a lot of error.
