St John the Baptist's Church, Hellington

The church features a round tower built from flint and brick with limestone dressings, containing two-light bell openings and an embattled parapet at its summit point.

Built around 1150, the church maintains its original Norman doorway with a round-headed arch supported by three orders of shafts decorated with ornamental capitals.

The east window contains a collection of medieval glass fragments and nineteenth-century stained glass panels created by J. and J. King of Norwich craftsmen.

The church remains open daily from 10 am to 4 pm, with parking available on the adjacent lane and access through a grassy path across the churchyard.

The south porch incorporates diagonal niches on each side of the entrance and houses three canopied alcoves, displaying medieval architectural craftsmanship.
