We are so very grateful for the grant which we received from Norfolk Churches Trust helping us to maintain the condition of our beautiful rural church. They are correct when they say a warm welcome is offered at all of our services, not only around the wood burning stove but within the whole church.

Our next service is Sunday 11th January at 11am, the fire will be blazing awaiting the congregation 🔥

The most warmest of welcomes, just what is need as the temperatures lower.

This stove can be found at the grade I listed Larling St Ethelbert, named after St Ethelbert King of the East Angles.

With no electricity the church is heated by this wood-burning stove, light comes from oil lamps and candles, and the organ is hand pumped, truly a step back to simpler times.

The Norfolk Churches Trust awarded a grant of £3,000 in 2022 to this church towards repairs to the roof, upper walls and gable ends, including a new stone cross for the gable end.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the parish and all those who care and worship at St John’s in Harleston following a devastating fire yesterday evening. Please hold them in your prayers today

St John’s Church in Harleston is an Anglican Church in the Diocese of Norwich. Our prayers and thoughts are with the church and parish community at this time and all the hard working volunteers.

Our prayers are also with the emergency services and our thanks to them for their work.

All warmly welcomed to our Harvest Festival service, Sunday 21st September at 3pm

On Sunday (July 6th 2025) the news was shared around the Benefice that our Priest-in-Charge, the Revd Simon Richardson, has been appointed as Chaplain of Bancroft’s School in Woodford Green, Essex/NE London. His last service in the Benefice will be the service planned for August 31st at 11am at St Ethelbert’s Church, Wretham, when Simon will preside at the Holy Communion and preach for the last time as Priest-in-Charge.

Please pray for him and Tyrone as they prepare for a huge new change in their lives; for Josh, Beth and family as Josh takes on the role of leadership during the ensuing vacancy; and for Churchwardens and others who will guide the parishes through the vacancy, and shortly begin the search for, hopefully, the first Rector of the Benefice.
