The village of Castle Acre is a major tourist centre for Norfolk. The church of St. James stands in the middle of the village amidst the ruins of the Norman Castle and those of Castle Acre Priory. Visitors can often miss the church which is a great shame for it contains many interesting features, including the wine glass pulpit illustrated above. Plus the medieval rood screen and font cover. The Friends of Castle Acre Church assist with raising funds to maintain this fine church.
In 2023 we re-slated the Chancel roof. Our next project is to modernise the kitchen facilities in the Tower Room and also provide an accessible lavatory. If you would like to help with this project, donations may be sent to the church treasurer Mr Martin Webster, c/o Woodford Lodge, Tittleshall, Norfolk PE32 2PF of online at this link https://givealittle.co/c/3eccMTxncF9UykdF7LZpGP. Cheques should be made payable to the Castle Acre Church Restoration Fund. Thank you.
