North Elmham Chapel
North Elmham Chapel submitted by Antonine : 2009 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Only ruins now survive of a Norman Chapel which is now looked after by English Heritage. The chapel is on the site of an earlier Anglo Saxon timber cathedral which housed the episcopal throne of the bishops of Elmham from around 672 until the episcopal see was moved to Thetford in 1071.


[Note: this site is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1017911, 'Episcopal chapel and fortified manor house on site of Anglo-Saxon cathedral'.]
