Norfolk is something of a backwater these days, but it was a great and wealthy county back in pre-Reformation times, and its churches reflect the people's wealth and piety.
Lord Peter Wimsey probably said it best, looking at Fenchurch St. Paul's (a fictional church but based on the best of the old Norfolk churches) - "It's like a young cathedral!"

The Dukes of Norfolk were Catholic holdouts, weren’t they?
“Midsomer Murders” has cool churches, too! Maybe I’ll go by the library for some DVD’s later. Takes too long to get them from Netflix, and they’re not available on the streaming video.
