St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary's Church, Beachamwell, We are a very small Norfolk village of some 300 residents and are blessed with a beautiful thatched Saxo-Norman church that is over 1,000 years old. Situated on the west end of the village green the Church is very much the centre of the village and community. Currently the church is undergoing a major restoration after a devastating fire in February 2022 that effectively destroyed everything except the walls and tower, and a few of the artefacts in the church. As a result the church is closed but we do have a service once a month on the first Saturday, either on the village green or in the village hall (subject to weather). We would invite any and all to come to those services should you wish. During the week, Mon - Fri, while work on the church is ongoing, visitors to the site are welcome and should you wish to enter and see the work please contact Peter Berendt, the Churchwarden, who will be happy to provide a short tour and brief.
