St Remigius is an unusual name to be given to a church, although there were four other medieval churches in Norfolk under the protection of this Saint. He was Bishop of Rheims, who died in 533AD, and is remembered for baptising Clovis I, the King of the Franks. The circular part of the tower of St Remigius church in Roydon – right on the border to Suffolk – was built about 1300 with an octagonal belfry which was removed c1680, and it remained a simple round tower until the mid 19th century when the new octagonal belfry was added. The lowest half of the tower is cement rendered, then there is a stage of black flints, used to re-face the walls in the 19th century, and the top stage has the belfry of flint and stone, with flushwork and carved-stone panels of quatrefoils in the battlemented parapet. The 15th century north porch also has flushwork on its face and three stone niches with finely carved canopies. There are angel heads and wings in the spandrels above the entrance arch. The south aisle was rebuilt in 1864, when the former south porch was moved to its east end to house the organ. The chancel was originally 12th century, rebuilt in mid 13th century and given new windows in 1864.
