Description
Detail from part of a Norman arch in the ruins of the Romanesque-style St James' church at Bawsey in Norfolk, Eastern England. The church was built of the local ginger-coloured carrstone, with some flint and limestone, on a slight hill during the 11th or 12th centuries, with parts replaced or enlarged in the 14th or 15th centuries. It fell into disuse in the 18th century. Bawsey is a sparsely populated village near King’s Lynn which was once closer to The Wash than it is now, the coastline having moved over the centuries.
