Signpost at West End

There's a lot of reproduction vintage style signposts in Norfolk, this looks like the real thing, even down to the broken direction sign for Ivy Todd & Necton.

St. Andrew's church West Bradenham

West Bradenham tower is situated on the south west corner of the nave and serves as a porch. On the north west side of the tower are the turret stairs, also acting as a buttress. Each side of the porch door are mass dials, the left one almost indiscernible. Inside the nave all is pristine, with plenty of light from the clerestory illuminating the interior. The font is a plain octagonal bowl supported on a thick shaft. Red carpet lines the aisle between the Victorian benches towards the pulpit which sits on a lump of carved stone. There is nothing remarkable about this church, but the late 13th c. arcades do have fine clustered columns and the spandrels in the aisles have some good tracery. In the chancel are a 13th c. piscina and graduated sedilia and a coeval pinnacled Easter sepulchre.

St. Mary's church, East Bradenham

The church is managed by the Churches Conservation Trust and is as such redundant as a place of worship. The church is set slightly back from the road and from the outside looks quite dismal. On the east face of the tower the original line of the steeply pitched roof can be easily seen. And at the corners, long and short work of the Saxon builders. Inside however it is bright if not cheerful, with clear windows. Only the east window has stained glass. As with all redundant churches there is only the bare bones remaining. The architecture is easier to see but it doesn’t bring much joy. A trellis of strengthening on the door, which still has its original lock, makes it very heavy. Great 14th c. octagonal piers support the clerestory and the arch-braced roof. The Hanoverian Royal Arms are on a small lozenge shaped brass high on the west wall and are so tarnished it is difficult to distinguish exactly what they are.
