A Medieval Norfolk church has been destroyed in a major fire that broke out this morning.
The roof of 12th Century St Mary the Virgin Church in Wimbotsham, near Downham Market, collapsed and the majority of the building has been damaged, according to the fire service.
The huge blaze was reported at 6.07am and when firefighters from Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service arrived they found the roof in flames.
Nine fire crews, including 50 firefighters, helped managed to save some of the historical documents kept in the church, which dates from 1175 and had some late 13th century work.
The historic bell tower still stands.
