Turn right in front of the big house and you come to the village of Upper Sheringham. The church is dedicated to All Saints.

At its simplest, it would be a 'Quiet' Morning or Afternoon or Day. The venue would not be very far away.

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.norwich.anglican.org/article/73 A Pillar of Cloud by Day http://www.norwich.anglican.org/article/63 I parked by Buckenham Station in the depth of winter. You could come by train! The potholed road leads south across the marshes to the River Yare. Birds are everywhere! On either side of the road thousand upon thousands of widgeon.

It is at the other end of Great Yarmouth from the Pleasure Beach and about as far removed from the rides and the candy floss as anything could be! A large part of Jesus' ministry was exercised around the Sea of Galilee and whenever I am beside the seaside I keep hearing echoes!

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://www.norwich.anglican.org/article/69 Castle Acre http://www.norwich.anglican.org/article/68 We parked by the West Acre church and walked east. It was too early to stop for refreshments at the Stag public house, instead we turned right and crossed the river on a footbridge. At the way mark, we went left through woods to arrive by another ford and footbridge, ignoring these we took the way-marked path just down stream.

A gentle gradient led over the crest of a hill, where my spirit rose as a skylark provided the appropriate sound track!

Overshadowing all, centre-stage, was the great bulk of the Temple.
