Brief description

"Horsham St Faith sits to the north of Norwich, separated from the city only by those twin temples to the modern gods of fast noisy transport, the airport and the northern relief road. And yet there's no doubt that it is a village rather than a piece of suburbia that has floated off in a fit of absence of mind. That said, the parish church's size and its setting beside the main road through the village gives it an urban feel, and you can't help thinking that this was a busy place when the church was largely rebuilt towards the end of the medieval period. And you'd be right to think this, for the parish was home to the Priory of St Faith, established here by Robert Fitzwalter after a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in the years after the Conquest (legend says that he tried to build it first at nearby Horsford, but it fell down). Part of the Priory survives as a private house with wall paintings of national importance..."
