Source: Farrer:" It was some while ere I was able to thoroughly identify the coat Gules, five bendlets argent or Bendy of nine gules and argent. Blomefield (Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk), in the only place where he mentions it, blazons it thus Barry of ten gules and argent, and fails to give any name; and he assigns to Cailly the same coat as Clifton, in which error he is followed by Burke and others. Through the kindness of my friend, Mr. Manning, I am able to give as my authority for assigning it to Cailly, the funeral certificate of Sir Thomas Knyvett, published in The Topographerand Genealogist, vol. i. 472. It is very evident from its position in the shields, both here and in New Buckenham Church, that it can have been intended for no other family".)

The north doorway > 1394272 dates from the 12th century and was transferred to its present place from the nave. The south door and its ring handle > 1394278 are C14. The church was restored in the late 19th century > 1394279 and most of the furnishings and the stained glass date from that time. The east window > 1394282 was made in the workshop of J & J King of Norwich. Another window > 1394289 was made in 1897 by the Kempe studios. Both these windows contain 15th century glass in their traceries.
