Great Barton, United Kingdom

In 1816 Sir Henry Bunbury, 7th Baronet, the major land owner in the area, founded one of the earliest allotment schemes in the country. He started granting land to his labouring tenants at the end of 1816 and early 1817 shortly after the food and anti-machinery riots, commonly known as the 'Bread or Blood' riots. The allotments were situated in the land bounded by Vicarage Farm Lane, Mill Road, and Livermere Road. He wrote in his memoirs of the allotments:My earliest trials, with mere gardens, soon showed me that, while the condition of the cottagers' families was in some degree improved, the men to whom these patches of ground were allotted became more domestic and moral in their habits.

The medieval grade I listed parish church is located to the south of the main village and is one of only five churches in the country to be dedicated to the Holy Innocents.

The tower dates from the later half of 15th century. Bequests for its construction were left in wills of Thomas Gatle of Great Livermere (10 marks) and John Stacey of Thurston (5 marks). The tower's parapets feature fine flushwork, which bears some similarities with St Mary's Church in Rougham.

Six bells from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries hang in the tower with the largest weighing 8.75 long hundredweight (445 kg; 980 lb).

The chancel is the earliest part of the building, dating from the late 13th century, with hexagonal buttresses at the East end. Four windows with plate tracery featuring a quatrefoil above two trefoil-cusped lancets feature on the North and South sides, two on each all with 19th-century stained glass. The East window mixes plate with bar tracery and has three lancets with the central one cusped and ogee-pointed and three encircled quatrefoils at the top.
