All Saints, High Kelling
Open daily dawn to dusk.All Saints' Church is hidden within woodland near the town of Holt in North Norfolk, on the A148 road to Cromer. It is a plain little building and the tiny bellcote gives away its function to a curious passer by. Its generous windows provide a bright and airy space with simple modern fittings. Why is it here? Looking at a map of the area, you'll see that Kelling Hospital is situated nearby. The church was built in 1924 as a chapel of Bramblewood Sanatorium, which treated tuberculosis patients and later formed the core of the current hospital. In 1955 the sanitorium was closed and the chapel building was purchased by High Kelling residents for £500. In 1978 All Saints' Church was recognised as a District Church within the Parish of Holt.
