Large puddle on the crossroads near Barmer, Norfolk A track goes off into the distance on the right of the hedge. According to O.S. maps there should be a metaled road crossing the track in the foreground but it is actually a badly rutted track/green lane prone to flooding.

The Church of All Saints, Barmer, Norfolk A remote church surrounded by farmland with an uphill grass track leading to it from the busy road, see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3078751" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3078751">Link</a> There is no nearby parking and walking on the road from Barmer is not the safest walk in Norfolk. According to a sign which used to be on the tower, see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/525155" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/525155">Link</a> , but was on the ground covered with weeds, see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3078730" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3078730">Link</a> ,  the church is maintained by The Norfolk Churches Trust. Unfortunately it appears to be very neglected these days with just a rough narrow path to the locked main door. The graveyard is totally overgrown and choked with ivy and weeds making access to headstones impossible although externally the structure does look in good condition.
