There
are about eight hundred churches of any
significance in Norfolk, including all of those
built before about 1840, and so it is a difficult
thing to reduce them to a Top Hundred. Over the
last twenty years or so I have visited every one
of those churches, in most cases several times.
There is so much to take into account - the
architecture, the setting, the furnishings, the
atmosphere, the historical survivals, and most of
all the 'wow-factor'. As of November 2024 these
are my Top Hundred Norfolk churches in order, but
like all things this is subject to change, for
outside the top twenty the margins of difference
are often small. Two caveats! I've erred on
the side of caution, so churches that I haven't
visited for a long time have a lower position
than they probably deserve (the two Kings Lynn
churches, for example). Also, there is the danger
of damning someone's favourite church with faint
praise. All I can say is that this is how they
seemed to me, and how I thought about them when I
sat down to do this.
