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 14th-century, the most remarkable possession of this vast, airy church is the spectacular 15th-century chancel screen with its lively lions and unspoilt contemporary paintings of the evangelists and others.
