NHER 7471 (Monument record) - Ruins of All Saints' Church, Hackford, Reepham

March 1977. Visit.
Ruins, in yard with Reepham and Whitwell churches. Ruined since 1543 (S1) or by 1583 (Ordnance Survey). One ivy covered wall in graveyard, and a 19th century brick enclosure adjoining.
E. Rose (NAU), 30 March 1977.

(S2) confirms (S1)'s date, saying it was burnt down except for the tower and west gable, which were not pulled down until 1790.
E. Rose (NAU).

(S3) gives a ground plan showing west tower, south porch, nave with buttresses at each corner and two intermediate on each wall, and narrower chancel; but he says 'this church and chancel are quite demolished, the steeple standing. It seems to have been built exactly regular.' He claims it was burnt at the time of Henry VII.
