Seething!

Wonderful placename, wonderful church name ... must find out more about St Remigius! I know he was Bishop of Rheims in France. That's all.

I came across this site simply by accident... what a terrific building!

I was expecting a right rant having seen that subject. Nice church though.

There are less than 200 round-tower churches in the whole country - almost all of them in East Anglia, and the great majority in Norfolk.

Here's the one my daughter was married in - St Mary's Tasburgh

It is a never ending pleasure driving and walking around Norfolk to visit such churches.
They are so full of history.
The thatch on St Remigius is most impressive and was the preferred roofing material for many similar churches now tiled.
On the tiled churches the old outline of the thatched roof is usually apparent high up on the tower because the apex of the thatch is usually much more acute than with tile.

An interesting read of a gentle meander through Norfolk and Suffolk with mentions for many churches -

By George - I think you're right. A definite improvement.
