Brief Description:
The grade I listed church of St Helen is often called ‘The Cathedral of the Broads’. The present church dates back to 1450, but there was a place of worship on this site prior to this. The church boasts one of the finest medieval rood screens in England and a 15th century illuminated manuscript - the Ranworth antiphone - which was written in Medieval Latin. The church tower can be climbed (89 steps two ladders and a trap door) and has wonderful views of the River Bure and five broads.
