Church of All Saints, The Green, North Runcton - King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Rebuilt in 1713, after collapse of the medieval church, by Henry Bell, architect. Baroque style exterior and interior, the latter with distinctive plasterwork, panelling, and large-scale paintings of Christ and the Apostles by Giotto Lamponi of Florence. Failing C19 external cementitious render, defective roof coverings and drainage causing internal damage. Historic England funded Tower Surveys in 2019 and 2021. The church was awarded a development phase grant from National Lottery Heritage Fund in May 2024. The funding will enable required pre-project works in advance of the repairs.
