Little Snoring,
Little Snoring,

St Andrew’s is one of Norfolk’s many round tower churches. The county contains three quarters of those still standing in Britain

The tower - of the usual local flint and mortar construction and thought to be 11th Century Saxon - is an enigma because it is quite separate from the rest of the building.

A clearly visible filled in arch on the tower's east side suggests that a nave was once attached there but the reasons for that church’s subsequent demise are unknown. Was it actually finished? If not why? Was the current church contemporary - Elsewhere in Norfolk two churches are so close that they touch.

*There is also a Great Snoring which is actually the smaller village. ‘Snoring' derives’ from someone named Snear rather than any stentorian prowess of the locals..
