St Mary's Church, Akenham, Norman church in Akenham, England
St Mary's Church features a flint tower, limestone dressings, and a brick chapel with a combination of tiled and slated roofs to protect its structure.
Built in the late 13th century, the church suffered damage from a German bomber mine in 1940 and underwent restoration by local residents in the 1960s.
The church contains a 15th-century octagonal limestone font with decorative tracery and medieval elements, including a piscina in the south chapel.
The church opens on the first Saturday of each month from May through August, with keys available for access during other reasonable times.
A single gravestone of two-year-old Joseph Ramsey from 1878 led to changes in England's burial laws through the Burial Laws Amendment Act 1880.
