Brief Description:
This 13th century church is the oldest building in the village of Heacham. The design of the church – a central tower built on the crossing – is very rare due to the strong foundations needed. Local legend says that John Rolfe brought his wife, Indian Princess Pocahontas, and their son to the church to worship; his family’s coat of arms is a feature inside the church, as well as a variety of other monuments.
