One of the earliest purpose-built artillery blockhouses in England, this brick tower was built in c.1398-9 to command a strategic point in Norwich’s city defence.
NORTH ELMHAM CHAPEL
13 miles from Horsford Parish
A place with an unusual story, told by graphic panels. The small Norman chapel here stood on the site of an earlier timber church, probably the Saxon cathedral of East Anglia.

The imposing stone walls, with added towers for catapults, of a Roman 3rd century ‘Saxon Shore’ fort. Enjoy panoramic views over Breydon Water, into which the fourth wall long since collapsed.
