Brundall Church

St Laurence has been a place of Christian worship for many hundreds of years. The present church building dates back to about 1250, but it has been altered and extended many times through the centuries.

The north aisle was added in 1900 and at the same time much of the present furniture including the pews and pulpit was installed.

The Font

There are thought to be about 26 lead covered fonts in England and this is thought to be the only one in Norfolk. It dates from the late 13th century and is unique in showing images of the crucifixion around the outside.

 

The Churchyard

The churchyard reflects the growth of Brundall in the twentieth century, most of the graves being quite recent.

The Church is dedicated to St Laurence who according to legend was martyred by being tied to a grid-iron and burned over a fire.
