Situated in the heart of the beautiful county of Norfolk, the villages of the Heart of Norfolk Group (benefice) form part of the Ingworth & Sparham Deanery in the Diocese of Norwich. We worship God and support our community within the framework of the Church of England.
To donate to the Church of your choice on-line please use the Norwich Diocesan website.

Further to the PM’s statement on Monday (22nd) and what impact that will have on public worship and our ability to travel between our villages, there is a Churchwardens/Ministry Team meeting on Saturday 27th February to discuss our plans for Mothering Sunday, Holy Week and Easter. Watch this space!
Blessings for a happy, holy Lent.
