Find a church

In a tiny hamlet tucked away among Norfolk's lanes and fields, St Mary's is a church of distinction and beauty.

Reaching St Peter's is a small adventure, leaving the modern world behind as you gets closer to the sea.

Built in 1693, Great Bavington church is the oldest former Presbyterian church in Northumberland which is still used for worship (and the second oldest in England, after Tunley in Lancashire).

All Saints is one of the five ringing towers in Norwich.

On the lanes just south of Shelton, Hardwick's little church is a contrast to its elegant neighbour.

The church is named after St Odulph, an obscure Belgian priest who, with St Frederick, evangelised Friesland.

Some call it the Cathedral at the coast, a beacon to local people with its high spire and spectacular architecture.

The church was built in 1956 and is Grade II because of its unusual architecture, particularly the walls which contain hundreds of small panes of coloured glass.

Originally it is believed there were 63 medieval churches in the city. St George is one of the remaining 31 and has the distinction of not only being architecturally worth a visit but is one of eight in regular weekly use.

Set amid cobbled streets and old cottages near the top of Elm Hill, this church dates from the 15th century but looks older than other Perpendicular examples in Norwich; perhaps partly because of its dumpy, pyramid topped tower.

It is difficult to accurately date the church's foundation or the present building but It is certainly ancient and parts of a moat remain which once enclosed a good five acres including both the church and adjacent East Mersea Hall.

A 19th century church, opened in 1837 but at least the third on the site, the earliest dating back to the 1100s and built by monks from Tynemouth.
