Ormesby St Margaret With Scratby - Parish Church

Parish Church

The Parish Church dates back to the 14th century. It is said that it was Alice Clere who made sure that the church tower was completed, as the workmen had taken far too long. Alice Clere, the daughter of Sir William Boleyn of Blickling, who died on 1 November 1538, was an aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn. Interior and exterior photographs available under external links.

Famous quotes containing the words parish and/or church:

    My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.
    —Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)

    Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
    And Certainty? And Quiet kind?
    Deep meadows yet, for to forget
    The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh!
    Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
    And is there honey still for tea?
    Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
