Church of St Mary the Virgin, Burnham Westgate,Norfolk

This sketch, taken from her diary, was presumably drawn by Elizabeth Jones in the early  1800's.  I visited the area in 2004 and was pleased to find that the church is still being used as a church and is as picturesque as it no doubt was two hundred years ago (even though in the immeadiate vicinity there is now the addition of a tarmac road and quite a few more houses).  I had a quick look around the church yard to see if there were any memorials to Henry Crowe but I was not able to find one however there is up on the wall inside the church a list of past rectors including:
1749-1766 Humphrey Christian.
1766-1816 Henry Crowe.
1816-1824 John Howard.

If you have any information to add to what is listed please contact me on jj@jjhc.info
