St Mary the Virgin

There has been a church in Blundeston village, which Charles Dickens used as the scene for the opening chapters of David Copperfield since St Fursey, an Irish Missionary, first preached Christianity in these parts in the 7th century. Nothing remains of the original church but in c988 the present flint tower was constructed and about a century later a stone church was built on to the tower.
