Churches
In Norfolk and Waveney, there are church communities across 550 parishes!
With over 650 church buildings, the Diocese of Norwich has one of the highest numbers of heritage buildings in the UK. Over 90% of which are Grade listed buildings, many are hundreds of years old with ancient stories to tell.
Most of our church buildings are regularly used for prayer and worship. Others may be used for significant events or as festival churches, which means they open occasionally through the year. We also look after church ruins, and some of our church communities may gather in halls or even barns.
