This church is redundant and no longer used for services. St Peter's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037322 is situated on an elevation at the end of a short driveway that turns off Burgh Road, leading through the hamlet of Mattishall Burgh. It dates mainly from the 14th century, with the north transept > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2047387 dating from the same time. There is a rarely seen sanctus bell turret on the nave east gable. The church houses a Norman font and the original rood screen > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2047377. At the west end there is a barrel organ > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2047399 - one of only a handful that have survived in Norfolk churches.
