Whissonsett Church

Welcome to St Mary's Church, Whissonsett.

Church open, daily to visitors.

This is a medieval church that might once have housed two small north and south aisles in its now very broad and light-filled nave. By contrast the chancel presents a subtle aura dappled with Victorian stained-glass light.

A key feature is the millennium-old, Saxon-era wheel-head cross with its Celtic-style carved knotwork design. It is a survivor of its kind unique in Norfolk, having lain safely buried under turf for many centuries until discovered by chance by a gravedigger in the early 20th century. It forms part of our Upper Wensum Benefice logo.

There are small examples of surviving medieval stained glass in the west window. 

The church's six bells are rung regularly.
