This Broadland church is of great character and charm, situated in the hamlet of Irstead,150m from public moorings on the River Ant just below Barton Broad on the Norfolk Broads.  We are a small congregation and look forward to welcoming you to our services.  The church is now decorated for Christmas with beautiful floral arrangements.

Church Open  daily from 9am to 4pm with something for everyone - a Prayer Walk, Church Guide and Children's Trail, or just take a moment to sit and wonder at this special place.
