St Wandregesilius' parish church, Bixley, Norfolk, England. This is the burnt-out shell of the church of St Wandregesilius, a dedication which is unique in England. Apart from the 14th-century west tower, the church was rebuilt in 1868. Arthur Mee describes a simple screen with tracery above bays open to the floor and memorials to the Wards, one of Bixley's old families, and an Elizabethan monument depicting a sculptured group in prayer. All was destroyed in May 2004, when the church was destroyed by a fire, which may have been started deliberately. There are plans for rebuilding this church.
