St James' is the only church on the Peddars Way, a 46 mile footpath through Norfolk and Suffolk. The church sits on the village green, between Castle Acre's two main English Heritage attractions: the ruined priory and the castle. The church is large and bright, with many items of interest including the 15th century decorated screen, the wine-glass pulpit featuring depictions of saints, the large font cover (one of the best in Norfolk), the carved beast under the priest's chair, and the creepy skull watching over the altar, to name just a few.
