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 is 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. A pattern of benefice services has been established and Thorpe Market is always delighted to welcome worshippers on these occasions – these occur three or four times a year.
