HISTORY
The church was built almost entirely in the 15th century. The decline was already well set in by the 17th century, during which time the chancel was demolished, before it fell down of its own accord. By the 19th century it was almost derelict. Architect Sir Arthur Blomfield came to the rescue in the 1880s, rebuilding the chancel, and repairing the nave and tower.
Today the church is a popular, friendly place, its enormous nave full of light and space. There is excellent glass at the east end made by William Morris's company to the designs of Edward Burne-Jones, and elsewhere there is modern glass celebrating and commemorating the places and people of Cromer.
The outside of the church is magnificent, with superb architectural detailing. Crowning all is the great tower, Norfolk's tallest, and a popular attraction in its own right because of the views from the top.
OPENING TIMES
The church is open to visitors every day from 9.00am until 4.00pm, for private prayer, contemplation and meeting with God. (Except Sundays, when services are held, or when a funeral or wedding is taking place.)
A manned bookstall is available five days a week between 10.30am and 3.30pm.
Please note that the church tower is not open for visitors to climb, due to the peregrine falcons nesting at the top.
