Description: The ruined church of St Mary in Tilney cum Islington, near to Tilney High End, Norfolk, Great Britain. This cruciform church dates from the 13th century, with its tower built in the 15th and the north porch added in the 16th century. After years of disuse and neglect the nave and transept roofs eventually collapsed. When the church was formally declared redundant in 1973 it passed into the care of the Redundant Churches Fund.
