Church of St Mary
Beachamwell St. Mary is a Grade I listed building,[2] and one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk. It is built from flint, mainly rendered with ashlar and with some brick dressings. It has both thatch and lead roofs.[3] St Mary is the last surviving church of four that once served this area. The round tower is one of the earliest in Norfolk, being early 11th century.
There is a pair of wall tablets in the chancel to John Motteux (died 1793) and John Motteux (died 1843) set beneath the crocketted ogee arches with carved head stops and fleurons.[4]
