Tuttington St Peter & St Paul

 The parish of Tuttington lies in northeastern Norfolk about 2 miles east of the market town of Aylsham. Tuttington is a small village which sits just over 1 mile east of the A140 road which connects the city of Norwich through to Cromer and which now bypasses Aylsham. Tuttington sits on the land east of the valley of the River Bure albeit by only a few metres in height, enough to keep its feet dry. The area, like much of Norfolk, would have been almost totally devoted to arable farming, but Tuttington was fortunate in having water meadows along the Bure and it tributaries which varied the nature of the farming as grazing was possible along those water-meadows. A tiny parish by acreage, covering just 850 acres in extent it was one of many such small parishes within this area of Broadland.

St Peter & St Paul's church sits at the eastern end of the village on the eastern side of the lane which runs north to south from Barmingham through to Buxton. The presence of a round tower immediately alerts to  potentially ancient church and so it is the case here, the tower is dated to the 12th century by Pevsner. The church was obviously rebuilt in two stages during the medieval period. The chancel is in the Decorated style of the early 14th century whilst the nave is later and Perpendicular. A general restoration of 1884 was followed by two further periods of work on the chancel in both 1889 & 1904 to arrive at today's church. Whilst the lane is a little broader than most there is nothing other than the verge on which to park so care is required. Metal gate grant access to the churchyard which although small and tight to the western end has adequate space for photography.
