To all intents and purposes the two parishes form a single village. But, as befits the parish names, Great Massingham church is grand and bold on the high street, while St Andrew is more secretive, set on a quiet lane in a pleasant graveyard. On this day in October 2006, the tower was covered in scaffolding, but the church was still open, and Peter Stephens has kindly contributed the scaffoldingless image at the top of this page.

And then there is Jekyll's pulpit, quite out of character in this humble little place, a marble and stone extravaganza that gloats in the corner of the nave like a bully. But look closer; there are beautiful ball flower reliefs carved in the steps and above and below the marble-tiered panels. And, most delightful of all, the most easterly ball flower is actually a carved human head, almost certainly a portrait of Thomas Jekyll himself.
