- 1. All Saints, Burnham Ulph, Norfolk, England
-
-
Parish church One of the seven parish churches in the Burnhams, the series of villages lying in close proximity to each other in a once prosperous coastal region of north-west Norfolk, the medieval building at Burnham Ulph had a chancel and an aisleless nave. By the early 19thc., the chancel was partly ruinous, as recorded in J. S. Cotman’s engraving, published in 1838. The church was substantially rebuilt in 1879. The chancel arch, pointed and with a keeled soffit moulding, is supported on crocket capitals and is datable to c.1190. There are reused fragments of an earlier 12thc. date in the SE chancel buttress.
- 2. Castle Acre Priory, Norfolk, England

-
Monastic church and Priory complex, now in the care of English Heritage The ruins of the priory lie approximately a quarter of a mile SW of Castle Acre village on low marshy ground near the river Nar. The remains of the castle keep stand on a motte surrounded by a bailey and earthworks on the east side of the village, and the extensive outer defences of the castle enclosed the priory site as well as the village. In the centre of the village is the Bailey Gate, originally the north entrance to the bailey. The extent of the priory enclosure can be gained from the position of the gatehouse of c.1500, to the north of the priory church. The layout of the monastery is still clearly discernible.
