Hindringham Church - A Church Near You

Welcome to St Martin's, Hindringham, five miles from the north Norfolk coast. The church is open daily to visitors. You are welcome to any of our services and events. Medieval church with striking Victorian east window, and a crooked or 'weeping' chancel (altar end) set at an angle when viewed from the nave (main body of the church). The latter is traditionally interpreted as representing the tilted head of Christ on the cross, but it is more likely that the original chancel was rebuilt subsequently, when accurate alignment to true east had become more possible. Detailed illustrated document here. The church contains what is thought to be the oldest parish chest in the land, from the 1200s. Other churches in our group or benefice include nearby Thursford, Great and Little Snoring, Kettlestone with Pensthorpe, and Barney.
