Haveringland Parish Church

Extensively renovated in the 19th century the tower is the oldest part of this church. Can be seen from the road as it is on a disused airfield. Not open to visitors but one of the 123 round towered churches still existing in Norfolk.

So peaceful. And a very commendable restoration project is underway.

A round tower church in the middle of the fields, which is pleased to celebrate its WWII RAF connections. Such a peaceful setting, often surrounded by horses. Visit when the church is open to truly appreciate the wonderful, mostly Victorian, interior. Beautiful stained glass windows. Ornately carved pews. An impressive organ for such a small church. The WW1 roll of honour is a small brass plaque behind the font. The churchyard, which is surrounded by a flint wall, is a wildlife conservation area with mown paths through the grass to the graves. Just beside the church wall is a memorial stone for RAF Swannington, plus a line of trees forming the "Avenue of Remembrance". There are just a handful of services and other events each year. The church is easy to access along the former RAF perimeter track, with car parking. There is a fairly level track from the car park, but just a grass path across the churchyard and a step into the church. Well worth a visit.
