St Martins New Buckenham Church Editorial Photo

Much of what survives in the village is late medieval, and the best example of this period is St Martin. Externally, this is a grand, urban building, easily the equal of most of the churches of Norwich and Ipswich, from the pinnacles on the tower to the crisp array of clerestory windows. There are minor remnants of an earlier 13th century building, but this might as well have been a complete rebuild. The narrowness of the graveyard only accentuates the way it rises like a rocket above the roof tops.
