Cromer Parish Church (St Peter and St Paul) - Cromer

Ginny Chandler

Lovely church and great sanctuary from the weather. Door was hard to open and a lot of people thought it was not open, so turn the handle and push hard. No café there that I could see, but there was toilets. Man sat playing the organ beautifully. Play area for kids and amazing stain glass windows (some hidden).

It's a rather large piece of history, you won't miss it wandering on Cromer's streets. At night the front is lit by a halogen light.
The Church of St Peter and St Paul dates from the 14th century and is in the centre of the town. After falling into disrepair it was rebuilt in the late 19th century by architect, Arthur Blomfield. At 158 ft (48 m) the Bell tower is the highest in the county. Also, of note are the vast stained glass windows which commemorate various members of the lifeboat crew and other features of the resort.

Just stopped in but it's a beautiful building, stunning stained glass and the bonus of Peregrine Falcons nesting in the tower. They show a live feed in one of the side rooms. I took pictures of the windows, it was easier than the birds!

Beautiful church with a nice cafe and friendly atmosphere. I'm not religious but felt very welcome and really enjoyed looking around. They gave us a leaflet at the door with a brief history of the building. The windows are spectacular!!

I am in no way shape or form a religious person but I like to look at stained glass windows and historic sites.
It was peeing down and I popped in to escape the downpour. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. It was very pleasant place to visit.

We visited Cromer on the hottest day of the year and were pleasantly surprised to find a well equipped free crèche available to escape the heat. Well stocked with quality toys and comfortable seating, all kept very clean and tidy. Thank you to the volunteers that make this possible.

Very beautiful church and surroundings. It wasn’t crowded when we visited. Around the church are tombs with beautiful flowers around.
