Northrepps: St.Mary The Virgin

Welcome to St Mary's. All enquiries about baptisms or weddings should be sent to the Rector, details on the 'Get in Touch' page

Thorpe Market: St Margaret of Antioch

The current church was opened in 1796, replacing a medieval church that had a tower and an aisle and that had fallen into disrepair. We don't look like a 'traditional' Norfolk church but the scale and intimacy of the building will ensure a warm welcome to our services and events. If you come as a visitor our 'difference' will add to your Norfolk church experience.

Thorpe market is a small rural community and the church is situated on the edge of the village.

Several of the congregation come from outside the parish. The church was used by various groups for exhibitions.

Worship and Prayer

Services, normally of Holy Communion, are held monthly and a list of the services for 2026 is below. Refreshments are served after each service. The attendance averages 15.
