St Andrew’s in Raveningham sits in beautiful surroundings of the Raveningham Estate and Gardens. You might be confused when nearing the estate, as it looks like it is private, but you are free to enter and visit the church.

Almost the entire church is covered with rendering, so it is impossible to study the underlying material of flint. The 15th century octagonal bell chamber is built of brick. The circular part is probably 12th century, as the tower arch is round-headed, and there are also three round-headed openings in a vertical line on the west face. The top of the tower is crowned with a stepped, flushwork parapet, enclosing small shields and with little spikes on the highest bits. There is a mid 14th century north aisle with short clerestory windows above, and a south porch. Within the brick arch of the south doorway is a door covered with iron work of about 1100. It is thought the same blacksmith made this wrought ironwork as the work seen at Haddiscoe, and the lesser remains at Hales (both Round Tower Churches). It has the same interlaced pattern as at Haddiscoe. The ironwork has been re-used on replacement woodwork.
