Saint Nicholas Church originally a rectory, was a gift of Peter de Valognes, who came over with the Conqueror William.
The present church was built on the site of a Norman church. Whether an Anglo-Saxon church preceded the Norman church on this site is open to conjecture, but it is known that in the 7th Century Saint Felix introduced Christianity to this area via Babingley and Shernborne.
Saint Felix may also have visited Dersingham.
Dersingham is a growing village on the outskirts of the royal Sandringham estate and close to the sea.
We are a very friendly fellowship offering a warm welcome to all.
The church is very attractively built in local carrstone with many interesting features and is a popular venue for weddings.
During the Summer months we open the church from 12noon to 4pm for visitors.
