Dear Visitors,
Our aim in creating this website has been threefold:- firstly, to publicize information about our beautiful little church:- times of worship, social events, it's history and architecture; secondly, to share with you our enjoyment of the area in which it is set; and thirdly, to provide you with some thoughtful reading for the quieter moments in your life. Although stemming from the rhythm of the church's year, these articles could well speak meaningfully to you at any time.
Sadly we have been unable to edit this website for technical reasons for the last five months but now we are on line again, thanks to the kind help of Paul Cheall.
We hope you don't just rush through our lovingly-created pages, but enjoy spending some time with us.

SAFEGUARDING CONCERN? Call the NSPCC on 0800 802020 or our Safeguarding Officer Graham Bircham on 01493 748302
Our Benefice now has a website that includes all four churches, so rather than duplicate too much of the printing information, like the Bulletin and details of Services elsewhere in the Benefice, we refer you to the Martham Benefice website at: marthamchurches.org,uk
We are delighted to be back editing this website after technical problems beyond our control caused months of inactivity. There are a few changes and additions.
On this Home page we have a new feature of Picture of the Week and you are invited to send in your photographs for inclusion (as space allows).
We also invite you to submit any items of local news &/or interest for inclusion in the Village Notes.
