Organ in St Andrew's Church The instrument occupying the 14th-century west tower arch is a rare survival of the work of Joseph Halmshaw & Sons, organ builders of Birmingham, who were active in the later 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th.

St. Andrew's church, Barton Bendish This is an interesting little church with some unusual features. The 15th c. porch has flushwork depicting the cross of St Andrew. A stair turret ascends the 14th c. tower on the south side, above the parapet is a pyramidal cap. In my opinion the late Norman doorway has at some time been made narrower which has created a point to the once rounded top, there is a detached column either side. Inside the nave are box pews dated 1623 and a small coeval poor box. Behind the pulpit is a small 14th c. niche and in the north wall are the old rood stairs. The chancel, to my mind is the most interesting part of the church just below the 14th c. piscina are two unique additional drains set into the floor which is covered with 14th c. patterned tiles. Adjacent to it is a graduated dropped sill sedilia.

Barton Bendish St. Mary's church The church had a tower which fell in 1421 and lasted until 1710. An attractive crocketted ogee hood-mould over the chancel door. The west Norman door has unusual banding around the columns of the jamb, the inner columns are an unusual bobbin design, with four orders of decoration above. It was salvaged from All Saints when it was demolished. Inside next to the south door is a painting of a wheel with a figure of Catherine, beneath her, a coffin on a bier. On the end of one of the Carolean benches is carved 1637; only slightly later that the Holy table which has ‘EL 1633’ carved on the front. High on the east wall hang two worm-eaten angels seemingly from the screen. A dropped-sill sedilia with quatrefoil decoration below. The piscina may be below floor level if it was similar to the one at Barton Bendish St Andrew’s.

In St Andrew's graveyard This gravestone at St Andrew’s in Barton Bendish, dated 1793, shows some symbolic carving across the top. The large vase in the centre is flanked by two winged souls that indicate the rise of the deceased’s soul to Heaven. I found a few examples of this style in other Norfolk graveyards.
