On the north wall is the best single surviving wall painting of the narrative of St Christopher in England. It was restored by a Professor Tristram in the 1930s. The giant figure of the saint bestrides the river opposite the south doorway, just as he does in dozens of East Anglian churches, but here his staff has become a club, and on either bank there are smaller scenes depicting events in his story as recorded in the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies compiled in the 13th Century which was hugely popular in the late medieval period as a source for art and storytelling. There are about twenty scenes here. Those to the west of the saint recall his life as a pagan before conversion, and these are mostly lost to us now. But on the east side the scenes are well-preserved, vivid and immediate in their clarity. They show the trials and tribulations he underwent in his life as a Christian, including the occasion on which two women were sent to tempt him in prison

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Pretty beach . Next village up from Hemsby. Cliff top car park. Wooden hut cafes and gift shops.. council toilets.. access to beach is through the dunes. Cycle path runs along the side of the church...heading to the hidden Chapel.

Great walk

Short route for an acoustic and emtb hardtail to tryout bags. Start anywhere in the thorpe area on the way to woodbastwick Fur and feathers pub for a beer. Mainly cycle ways with farm double track between Honeycombe and salhouse road. Rode down to the Salhouse Broad and back.

It's almost completely hidden by the wood now and difficult to access on a road bike. The driveway leading to it is narrow with a poor surface, and regular sharp speed bumps. Not worth the detour IMO.

Good place to stop for a coffee and to refuel! Toilets here as well.

An excellent, award-winning pub, the Recruiting Sergeant is a great shout for that post hike refuel and it has rooms for the night too. The building is Grade-II listed and dates back to the 18th century. There's plenty to explore in the surrounding area, with paths along the River Bure and the wider Broads National Park just a short hop away.
