Is that a Knights Templar symbol over the door?

It does look very similar doesn't it
That's why I am thinking Scottish ( or is that Dan Brown whispering to me)

Caz, can you zoom into the cross (or whatever it is) above the porch in photo 1?

Definitely looks like a Knights Templar symbol doesn't it?  :-\

As the symbol above the door is so distinctive you would think a  few search terms might throw something up, but I've been unable to find anything remotely similar so far.

Isn't Norfolk the home of flint buildings - and isn't this church a flint building??    I know there are flfint buildings elsewhere in UK - but  . . just thinking really.

Just a thought- been watching to much escape to the Country.   ;)

That's the "croix pattée". It being white would suggest that it is related to the "Knights Hospitallers" which is the Order of St John.

The use of knapped flint in older buildings is confined mainly to Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex, Kent, Suffolk and Norfolk.

The photographs are misleading - both are of the same porch.
