Accessibility:

The church has no parking, but it is possible to park on the road just outside the church boundary walls - although the road is narrow, so caution should be taken. There is a gravel path up to the church door and a ramp is available for wheelchair access. A hearing induction loop is available during services.

Brief Description:

This Grade I listed church was built in the 14th century by the Le Strange family of Hunstanton Hall. There was a major renovation (including a new roof) in 1860 by Henry Le Strange; the east window was dedicated to his memory. Inside the church there is a stone font, a stone piscina and a carved stone coffin, all dating back to the original 11th century church.
