Historic Churches in Norfolk

Weybourne Priory was founded around AD 1200 on the site of a Saxon church and incorporated part of the Saxon building, including the striking 10th-century tower. The priory added an aisle to the monastic church to serve the local population, so the church survived the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

St Mary's is one of the great churches of Norfolk, a testament to the wealth of the medieval cloth trade that launched 'worsted' cloth. The church boasts a superb set of late medieval screens, with an exaggerated height and exquisite fan vaulting. Look for the 1404 brass to a former rector.
