St Mary's Church, Islington, Norfolk

The church structure features a cruciform layout with a buttressed tower, partially roofed chancel, and remaining walls constructed from stone and brick materials.

The oldest sections of St Mary's Church date from the late 13th century, while the tower represents a 15th-century addition during an extensive remodeling phase.

The chancel contains two significant memorial monuments: a north wall dedication to Edward Bragge from 1846 and an east wall marble monument from 1723.

The church ruins stand near Islington Hall Farm, accessible via a track from the A47 roundabout at Tilney All Saints, approximately three miles from King's Lynn.

The tower retains two original bells and maintains its roof, while the chancel received protective closure through the construction of a west wall in 1972.
