any idea what the signs say in the bottom corners?

They're memorials shown on the last two pictures on this page:

I quite like the perspective here, and the contrast.

The sign on the right says: "And Two Own Thor." It doesn't make any sense. And for another thing you shouldn't start a sentence with and.

And for another thing you shouldn't start a sentence with and.

Thanks for the comments folks. I decided to give this one a contrasty b&w treatment to maximise the effect of the lychgate framing.

Great job and processing.

I like this a lot - I went to school about 30 miles east of there, in North Walsham, and the whole of that part of Norfolk is just full of nice old churches like this. Big nostalgia trip for me, thank you!

i love this pic, but the horizon is bothering me, it looks a few degrees off

Thanks Abraxas, Kevin & Logan. For someone interested in English churches Kevin the eastern counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk can't be beaten. Don't worry about the horizon Logan - its only the church being not quite parallel with the lychgate.
