Access
St Nicholas lies largely hidden behind trees on the Eastern side of the main Norwich to Fakenham Road A1067 just on the Northern edge of the village. There is off-road parking in the layby immediately outside the Church which is most easily turned into from a Norwich-bound direction. The village itself is very small (a little over 500 acres with around just 30 residents) and is located on the Western side of the main road. Consequently, the Church is open only for services and special occasions.
Outside of Sunday Services, a key may be obtained to gain access to the Church. Please contact Wilhelmina van Beuningen on 01362 683228.
