About this church
Sweeping views of the Broads
In one of the most striking settings of any Norfolk church, St Mary's stands on a rise overlooking the sweeping landscape between the Broads and the coast, with the great tower of Happisburgh in the distance. Principally fourteenth century, the most remarkable possession of this vast, airy church is the spectacular fifteenth-century chancel screen with its lively lions and unspoilt contemporary paintings of the evangelists and others.
