Two village ponds of exceptional size.

Benches by the ponds for a rest and a picnic.

The interior of this church looks rather modern, but St Peter has a lot of history on offer. Unusually the plain, low parapet on this tower has twelve sides to it! The round tower has been built with very clear courses of flints in its lower section, (perhaps 11th century), then a tall section of smaller flints, and the upper section with the belfry made of random flints. This top stage was probably rebuilt in the 15th century. Below the south-east nave window appears to be an early flint quoin, which perhaps marks the extent of the first 11th century church here. The whole church is supported by hefty buttresses, mostly made of red brick. The chancel dates from the 14th century, with curvilinear tracery in the east window, though this was replaced in the 19th century.

The Tas valley around Shotesham and Stoke holy cross is pleasant cycling. Good walks around the area too. I often go this way then on to the pretty village of Brooke, then the small town of Loddon, after that I’m touring the Norfolk Broads. It’s a nice route and avoids main roads.
