England is famous for pretty villages and centuries-old churches, and the county of Norfolk has both in abundance. Norfolk has abandoned churches more than any other English county, including many that survived in an abandoned condition before any official efforts were made to preserve their remains.
See some of them below.
Church of St Felix, Babingley
Allegedly the landfall of St Felix of Burgundy who is rumoured to have converted the local kingdom to Christianity around AD 615, the 14th century structure has cemented its place in the folklore of the region and is arguably one of Norfolk’s most important church ruins.
Church of St Remigius, Testerton
St Remigius’ Church, which likely dates to the 11th or 12th centuries, was abandoned by the late 17th century but is said to have been in decline by the medieval period. All that remains today is the western part of the tower, which was constructed more recently than the main church, probably during the 14th century.
