St Peters at Needham on the Suffolk /Norfolk border. Lovely to see an old round tower.

Am I misremembering or was there a charity ride in East Anglia to check off as many of the (150+?) round tower churches in Norfolk/Suffolk as possible in a weekend? When I used to spend a lot of time in the Bungay area 15-20 years ago I had a list of them and used to tick them off like an I-Spy book.

A Saxon tower.
They had no access to the stone needed to make square towers. Lovely.

I think I visited all in the Beccles - Scole - Halesworth triangle back in the day. Many happy hours lost in the Saints south of Bungay...
