Although it's over 900 years old, most tourists visit this church to see the oldest, functioning church clock in the country. Dating to 1562, it also has an 18ft pendulum which you'll see keeping time as you enter the church.
The local church was built from flint which is found in the local chalk. It provided an excellent building material for the Normans who built a church here on the site of an earlier Saxon church.
Built in 1873, the cathedral's architecture is the French Gothic style " a design that was popular when the Dukes of Norfolk rose to eminence in the 1400s.
