About Us

St Andrew's Church, which sits high up overlooking the pretty village of Stokesby,  dates from the 13th century, but various Norman mouldings point to an even earlier building on this site.  

The first rector to be recorded was Thomas de Ormesby in 1283.

St Andrew's has some of the finest brasses in Norfolk - the earliest depicts Sir Edmund Clere in a combrous helmet with raised visor and is dated 1488.

The River Bure winds through the village and in the summer months many boating holidaymakers stop off at the village pub on the green.  A walk up to visit the church would be well worth it.
