Norfolk church partially made from Roman stones

[guy]

 

Studies have shown that one of Norfolk’s medieval churches reused Roman building material.

The church is close to Brancaster (80 miles or 130km), one of Rome’s eleven Saxon Shore forts. It is believed, however, that the stone was from a Roman lighthouse or signal station closer to the church.

Here are interesting videos on Brancaster, including one from “Time Team” excavating the Brancaster (Branodunum) Saxon Shore Fort:

Seems to be Roman brick and tile (very distinctive) with mostly unidentifiable stone and rubble.
