St. John Baptist's church, Yarburgh, was rebuilt after a fire in 1405 and is Perpendicular throughout.

The south aisle has disappeared. There are some old and rustic bench-ends.

It is now in the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust.

Ironstone, the construction material of the tower, has been heavily eroded by wind and weather since the fifteenth century.

By contrast the limestone is relatively unchanged.

The doorway created from limestone in the west face of the tower is in strong contrast to the ironstone.
