Great Bradley Photos - Old and New: 
The Church

SOUTH SIDE PORCH

       

From 1880 and 2003. The gate in the first picture indicates that this entrance was not the main one, as it is now.

 

SOUTH SIDE NAVE DOOR

Full image of Great Bradley church, Two Norman Doorways 

 The picture on the left was taken in 1914 and the right in 2005. 
The 1914 picture seems to confirm that it was the North door that was the main entrance as it has a table and collection box beside it. 
The list of rectors can be seen on the right of the door. This is now on the tower wall
