As you might expect for this part of Norfolk, the church is kept locked and there is no keyholder notice. Quite frankly, I think this is asking for trouble. It would make much more sense to remove all valuables and leave the church open all the time. As it is, this is such a remote spot and is so screened from the road that they are bound to get break-ins.

It hasn't always been the case that St Andrew was locked to strangers and pilgrims. As at Runcton Holme nearby, there is a notice on the door telling you to Come in and Pray, which briefly made me optimistic. But the notice is faded, as if praying in a church were no longer fashionable, or even thought particularly necessary. A newer notice beneath it proclaims that the church has No Safe, No Silver, No Money, while a third notice above observes that all children are welcome at our worship, rather wistfully I thought. Looking through a window, we saw that the sills were decorated with silk flowers, and the building was full of light. It seemed an attractive space, and I wished it had more to offer than just being a fortress, or a venue for the Sunday club.
