Overview
The construction of the church building was completed in 1604. The tower has a domed top with emblems of the evangelists on each of the four corners: the winged man for St Matthew, a lion for St Mark, an ox for St Luke and an eagle for St John.
It was added to the Grade I listed buildings in King's Lynn and West Norfolk on 15 August 1960.
