This fine grade 1 listed church was built in the early to mid 1300’s on the site of an earlier church, on a pilgrims’ route between Bromholm Priory (in modern Bacton) and the hostel and chapel which are known to have been at Stow Hill where the windmill now stands.

It is famous for its association with the Paston family, who lived in the adjoining hall, whose letters in the early 15th century give an insight on the life of an upwardly mobile family during the Wars of the Roses.
