Welcome

Welcome to the website for St. Andrew’s Church, North Burlingham. The first recorded rector of our beautiful church was Richard de Runhale in 1199. Although the greater part of the church dates from the early part of the sixteenth century we are proud of our roof angels and the rood screen, the latter dating back to 1536 barely a decade before the faces of the saints were defaced during the reformation.. The screen by the tower is from the ruined St. Peter’s Church which is nearby. St. Andrews is surrounded by woodland and fields which is a centre for ramblers and dog-walkers who are always very welcome. The churchyard is a haven for wild flowers and we are part of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust conservation scheme.

Our church provides an oasis of calm and peace which is often remarked upon by visitors.

Temporary Closure

Unfortunately we have had to temporary suspend access to the inside of the church because of a minor issue with the floor which is considered to pose a risk to visitors. Rest assured we will try to address the problem as soon as possible so we can reopen the church to the general public.

Private Prayer

Due to a minor issue with the floor at present, the church cannot be open for private prayer and reflection but we hope this will be resolved in the very near future.
