The village green. Beachamwell is a small village west of Swaffham. Many prehistoric tools, Saxon jewellery and Roman coins have been unearthed in the area and there are also the remains of two medieval crosses bearing witness to regular markets having taken place on the village green and at the crossroads. There once used to be four churches of which only one, St Mary's > 1269098 remains intact. Until the 1960's almost all the villagers were employed by the estate.

St Mary's church The remains of a medieval stone cross can be seen in foreground (right). Many prehistoric tools, Saxon jewellery and Roman coins have been unearthed in the area and there are also the remains of two medieval crosses bearing witness to regular markets having taken place on the village green and at the crossroads. St Mary's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269098 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269159 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269163 is located at the end of the large village green. It has a thatched roof and its round tower > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269095 dates from the early 11the century and is believed to be one of the earliest in Norfolk which is topped by an early 15th century octagonal bell stage. Inside, the bell window is off-centre. The interior was restored during Victorian times but two old brasses have survived. The pulpit > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269184 is Jacobean. There is also an interesting altar chest > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269173 in the south aisle which was made by J. Bramah & Son, London, and is dated to 1835. The perhaps most interesting feature contained in this church are two pieces of graffiti (protected behind perspex) believed to have been made by a mason on blocks of stone which around 1340 were built into the south wall so that the south aisle > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269165 could be added. The depiction of a devil > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1269196 is described by archaeologists as among the best in the country.

Spa, room and staff all fantastic. We had a meal in the pub (Indian night) and was very disappointed, reminded me of a poor flavoured homemade meal, really not what i expected. Breakfast in the morning was great in every way. Would recommend, just not for the Indian.
