Children’s Holiday Competition

Due to the current Coronona virus restrictions we are unable to hold our popular children’s summer holiday event at Hemblington church this year. As an alternative we are running a competition, with prizes, for children to enter.

Children are invited create a piece on the theme of the story of the Good Samaritan using the bible story or an up to date story. They can write a story or poem, draw or paint a picture, make a collage or a cartoon strip.

There will be prizes for the entry which makes the judge smile the most, the most colourful and the one which seems to tell the story best.

Take a look inside Hemblington Church

As a retirement project, Andrew Hawkins is building a website which takes a virtual tour of places of interest in and around the historic city of Norwich, presented as a series of interactive 360-degree panoramas in which you, the viewer, can ‘turn the camera’ to look left and right and up and down. He has just added a section about Hemblington Church which contains beautiful views of our church. The Hemblington Church entry can be found at:

But have a look round the rest of the website for interesting insights into our local heritage.
