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...

130 (give or take) in my home county, Norfolk. Not wishing to boast or anything. It just means we're always behind the times and styles!
