Tucked away down a little lane by the side of the church, but worth finding.

All Saints Church dates from at least the 12th century. Until 1981, the tower was largely complete, having been turned into a folly in the 17th century. Sadly, it suddenly collapsed leaving what we can still see today. The lost medieval village of Godwick is also on this site and is open to the public for free with information boards providing more information about the village streets and buildings that you can see in the landscape. For more details see the website https://www.lostvillageofgodwick.co.uk/

The Peddars Way follows the route of the old Roman road starting in Knettishall Hall in Suffolk. The Peddars Way is 73 kilometres long and ends at the Norfolk coast at Hunstanton. The route takes it name from the Latin "Pedester", which means on foot.

Great Massingham a picturesque village with one of the most impressive greens in the county. Several large ponds dominate the village; some of which have their origins as the fish ponds for an 11th century Augustinian Abbey.
