St Michael's is a Broadland church of character and great charm situated in the hamlet of Irstead,150m from public moorings on the River Ant just below Barton Broad on the Norfolk Broads.

We are a small congregation and would normally look forward to welcoming you to our regular Eucharist services.  However during the current Coronavirus pandemic, public and private worship has been suspended and the church closed until further notice. Please refer to https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-churches for more information from the Church of England.
