August 2016. 'Brecks from Above' and Breckland National Mapping Programme.
The site of the All Saints’ Church is visible as parchmarks on aerial photographs (S3-S4). These were not included in the mapping however as the site of the church is depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (S5) and other accurate sources are likely to exist. The earthworks of probable medieval lanes and boundaries recorded under NHER 64609 extend to the site of this church, see NHER 64609 for details.
