Oxborough, Norfolk, St. John the Evangelist, which sits within the grounds of Oxborough Hall. It sticks in the mind because of the damage caused by the collapse of the spire in 1949, which destroyed the nave, and for the fortuitous survival of the the Bedingfield Chapel, with its remarkable terracotta screen.
