On North Walsham Road. This church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075596 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075597 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075598 is open every day. Trunch is a small village with a population of about 800, located three miles north of North Walsham and two miles from the coast at Mundesley. The parish covers an area of 5.5 square kilometres. The village - dominated by St Botholph's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075202 - is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and can trace its history back to 1066. The name Trunch is believed to derive from a Danish word which means 'weighing place' and a market is said to have been held there as late as the 16th century. There is a village store and post office, the Crown Inn, and a number of attractive houses and converted barns. Once there also used to be a large brewery which was built in 1837 by William Primrose, whose family used to live in the parish for three centuries - the brewery has since closed. In English folk music the fictional village of St Just-near-Trunch is famous for being the home of the satirical band called 'The Kipper Family'.

This modern stained glass window is in Trunch Methodist church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075595 - located on North Walsham Road. It was placed here as a memorial to local preacher Arthur Herbert Amis (d. 2000) and his wife Gladys Effie (d. 1995). The first donation towards the building cost of this church was a gold sovereign given by Gladys. It can be seen in the centre of the window. The Friesian cow (at bottom) represents part of Arthur's life as a cowman. The past emblem of the Labour Party (at top) commemorates his lifelong membership. The fuchsias in the corners represent Arthur's hobby of gardening and growing fuchsias.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a remarkable survival, one of only four in England. Rather than attempt to photograph the whole canopy in a poor light, I have concentrated on the top of one of the corner posts, with beasts' heads and a monkey with a bishop's mitre (did the bishop of the time know about this?).
