The large mediaeval church of Our Lady St Mary in South Creake, loved by Sir John Betjeman among others, is a sign of the earlier wealth and size of the village. The church was largely re-built in the 15th century and features a stunning angel roof restored in the 1950’s. Other hints of the past include the Iron Age fort on Bloodgate Hill which we will pass on our return journey.
Syderstone Common is part of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust and is a wonderful area of grass heathland, punctuated with seasonal ponds and surrounded by woodland wildlife.
