Hemblington Church will be closed for public worship from Thursday 5th November to Wednesday 2nd December following the announcement by the Prime Minister of new restrictions to limit the spread of Covid-19.

The church will however still be open for private prayer on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30 am until 5 pm.

Please use hand sanitiser on entering and leaving the church, and leave your name and contact number or use the QR code for use with a mobile phone.

All social events are still suspended until further notice.

Hemblington Church is now open to visitors on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30 am until 5 pm.

We request that you follow government guidelines by cleaning you hands with the supplied antiseptic gel, providing your contact details and not entering the cordoned off areas.

We hope you enjoy the history and peace of our lovely church.

Tony Buttolph has composed a light hearted Bible quiz for church folk and friends to have a go at. His instructions for the quiz are at the top of the page. It is hoped that it will raise a little money for our churches too. The cost is £1.50 with a prize for the winner of £10.00.

Completed quizzes, with your name and contact number, can be placed in the box provided at the back of each church where there is a pot for your contribution. All completed quizzes must be returned by the 25th November. The winner will be announced by email and in church on Sunday 29th November.

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.

For anyone who is researching family history in the Hemblington area we have a page explaining how you can access our church records.

This can be found here.

Thanks to Paul Brittain of Norfolk360.co.uk you can now experience a 360 degree tour of the inside and outside of our church by using the following links:
