St. Stephen is a commodious gothic structure, with two side chapels, and a square tower at the west end. The nave is divided from the aisles by fluted columns with pointed arches, and the east window is richly beautified with stained glass. There are several old brasses and many mural tablets. In the vestry is a manuscript description of the church, written by Benjamin Mackerell, author of a history of Lynn; also a curious old alabaster carving. The church has lately undergone repairing and restoration. Rev. E. Evans, vicar.

St. Swithin is a neat structure, with a square tower and three bells. During the cleansing of the church in 1834, an ancient portrait of Edward the Confessor was found nailed under one of the seats, where it is supposed to have been placed for security during the civil wars. The altar-piece is a painting of Moses and Aaron. On the font are carved emblems of the Trinity, Eucharist, and the Passion, with the arms of East Anglia. Here are also three stalls. Rev. R. C. Cavell, rector.
