The ruins of St Saviour’s church, Surlingham form a prominent and evocative land-mark overlooking the marshes of the Yare Valley. The church was an early Norman late 11th Century_ foundation and is notable for its large coursed flint-work and axial tower plan. Originally there were two parishes in Surlingham, and St Saviour’s was linked to the nearby Surlingham manor. By the 13th century it was under the control of the Abess of Carrow Abbey. The population of the parish subsequently declined and eventually St Saviour’s was subsumed into the parish of St Mary’s in 1705. It gradually decayed, a process accelerated by the robbing of the church for building materials.
