Try again, the site deleted my first attempt because it did not like the name of the village.
This is another tower which holds part of my family history on my fathers side. Beeston-come-Mileham in Norfolk. The short tower is topped with a wooden spire with the weather vane on top. Many of my fathers family are buried in the churchyard including my grandmother and great grandmother.
The village was the birthplace of the famous bare-knuckle fighter, Jem Mace and there is a memorial to him near the entrance to the churchyard.

A large John Deere dealer now operates from a much modified control tower and buildings on the site.
