Our church is well-known for it's magnificent east window, with visitors from far and wide. It's well worth a visit.
We are now trying very hard to make our church eco friendly.
Grade 1 listed.
Music and Worship
The church has a set of 8 bells that can be rung for weddings.
We have held a variety of concerts and live music in the church & try to do this as often as we can.
We have a magnificent Walker organ built in 1854 for a church in London. In 1982 the Walker organ was rebuilt in East Harling by D.J. Miller of Orwell, Cambs.
This organ is played at every service.
Our mixed choir sing every Sunday at the Sung Eucharist & often join in every third Sunday for the All Age Service with the music group. We rehearse every Friday evening from 7.15pm - 8.30pm. We are fortunate enough to have a wonderful Director of Music, Nicholas Hunt, who is also our organist. He is extremely talented. We sing all sorts of music, including beautiful anthems. If you are interested please join us on a Friday evening ... no audition necessary. Singing is so good for you!

Coffee mornings are usually held on the first Saturday morning of each month except January. Normally from 10am - 12noon. As well as tea & coffee, there are always lots of lovely cakes to taste while you chat & catch up with friends, or even make new ones. Do pop along to see what you've been missing! ☕🍰🍵🍰☕
