The 12th-century All Saints Church with its square tower was was largely rebuilt in the early 15th century. The clock is dated 1725 and was made by the Swaffham blacksmith . The Tower contains a peal of 6 bells, which are still rung today by the Litcham Bellringers.

The unusual red and green painted rood screen was completed in 1536 and shows twenty-two painted images of saints. The tracery of the upper portions of the screen arecarved with great delicacy.

The female saints can be identified as Sitha, Cecilia, Dorothy, Juliana, Agnes, Petronella, Helena, and Ursula.
