Ranworth

Ranworth is a village in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park, adjacent to Malthouse Broad and Ranworth Broad.

The 14th century church of St. Helen's has a fine 15th century painted rood screen and a rare Antiphoner. This illuminated manuscript was bequeathed to the church in 1478. It was produced by the monks of Langley Abbey and consists of 285 sheepskin pages of writing and illustrations, with daily services in medieval Latin and nineteen miniature paintings.

From the top of Ranworth church's 100 ft. tall tower one can see many of the broads and rivers.
