Welcome to St James, Castle Acre, the only church on the Peddars Way. The church sits on the village green, between Castle Acre's two main English Heritage attractions - the ruined priory and the castle. 

Our church is large and, bright, with many things to see - the 15th century decorated screen and pulpit, the huge font cover (one of the best in Norfolk), the carved beast under the priest's chair, the old skull watching over the altar, to name just a few.  

But Castle Acre Church is much more than a tourist attraction. It has a committed congregation, some travelling many miles to attend our Sunday worship.  Its size and welcoming atmosphere also means that St James the Great is an ideal place to host a wedding. 

Do pop in, to visit, to light a candle or to attend our services. We would love to meet you.

Castle Acre Church is part of the Nar Valley Benefice.
