Venue
Plumstead: St Michael
Address
Church Street Plumstead Near Holt NR11 7LG, NR11 7LG, United Kingdom

All Souls is a tender and reflective time in the church year when we remember before God those we love but see no longer. It is a moment to pause, to give thanks for their lives, and to bring our grief, our memories, and our hope into God’s presence.

All who have recently been bereaved are especially welcome to this quiet service of prayer and contemplation. Names of loved ones can be read aloud as part of the service, and candles may be lit in their memory — simple yet profound acts that help us honour them and entrust them to God’s eternal care.

Whether your loss is recent or from many years ago, this gentle service offers space for reflection, comfort, and peace. In the stillness of worship, we remember together that God holds us, and those we love, in unfailing love and light.

Plumstead: St Michael

This wonderful church has its origins in the 12th century but has numerous later additions. It comprises a nave (13th century), chancel (14th century), west tower and clerestory. The south aisle of this church was demolished sometime before the 19th century. It is a flint built structure with clunch ashlar dressing. However, the north wall is made from unusual herringbone pattern carrstone conglomerate of an early date (12th century). Interesting external features include the fishscale tiled west tower with carved stone gargoyles adorning each corner. Inside there is a plain octagonal font, decorated Easter Sepulchre (14th century) and numerous beautiful stained glass windows, several of which are made from 16th/17th century Flemish glass and which were brought here from Catton Hall in 1952.
