Located on The Street in this ancient market village, this part-thatched, round-towered church features a dramatic font, a delicate screen and a disturbing inscription, all from the 15th century. But above all, whether you come to worship or as a visitor, a beautiful sense of light, uncluttered space: a welcoming, holy space.
St. Edmund’s has an open door and a warm welcome for all. Once the church once stood on a promontory overlooked the seashore.

The church is open every day (at least 9.30am-5.00pm (winter 4.00pm)) and we are always pleased to welcome holiday-makers (the village is a mile from the River Bure at Acle Bridge; a safe footpath runs parallel to the road).
We are part of Acle & Bure to Yare Benefice – seven parishes, working together. St. Edmund’s has an open door and a warm welcome for all. Once the church once stood on a promontory overlooked the seashore. Over the years, rich marshland has been reclaimed from the sea and a prosperous market town grown up around the church.
