Norfolk is a county full of the most beautiful churches
It had a very special dignity and simplicity, standing there on its low hill above the harvest fields, as though it were the faithful servant of the life around it.
All churches are alike in the eyes of our Maker, it now seems to be saying; it evokes in me a sense of local England and the centuries behind it – the harvests it has seen and the pathos of those humble folk who had toiled and died and had been “of this parish”.
Siegfried Sassoon describing Edingthorpe, All Saints in The Old Century and Seven More Years
A treasure to discover and a story to tell
Our churches have a character all of their own. From tiny Saxon parish churches to the great Cathedral of Norwich there is so much to see and enjoy. Whether you’re in the Brecks, on the Broads, at the coast or in towns and villages – historic churches abound.
Each parish church tells their building’s story in their own words, as well as giving practical information like if the church has toilets, is wheelchair accessible or has tea and coffee making facilities.
We hope this website enables you to discover some of the unique churches in Norfolk and to plan visits to these wonderful buildings.
Celebrating the dedicated volunteers
All churches are cared for by dedicated local volunteers. Their time and commitment in enabling their local church to be open to visitors and for Sunday services is remarkable.
There may be occasions when a church cannot be open, for example if substantial repairs are being carried out, so we always recommend contacting the church before visiting if this is possible.
Each church’s website will give details of regular Sunday service dates and times.
