| Alvingham, St Adelwold* |
An unusual setting of two churches within one churchyard – St
Mary’s, formerly serving North Cockerington and currently in the care of the
Churches Conservation Trust, and St Adelwold’s now ministering the communities
of Alvingham, North Cockerington and Yarborough. Both buildings stand in the
former grounds of a 12th century Gilbertine Priory, and St Mary’s church,
believed to be an eleventh century priory chapel, has examples of Saxon and
Norman stonework and a Saxon window on the north side of the Chancel. St
Adelwold’s stands on the site of a Saxon church and has a rare thirteenth
century west tower. Victorian and early twentieth century restoration has
masked much of the original interior.
