Churches in Narborough Parish

Narborough: All Saints

Main Road Narborough Kings Lynn

http://www.narvalleygroup.org.uk

The light and welcoming church of All Saints stands in the largest of the villages of the Nar Valley Group. Within the church there are several fine monuments to the Spelman family. The one to Judge Spelman in the church has associated with it the story that he was buried upright for 'no one had walked over him in life and no one was going to walk over him in death'. One of the brasses is to Sir John Spelman who had the dubious honour of signing the death warrant for Anne Boleyn.  

If you have had any previous connection with or love of All Saints Church then we invite you to help the congregation to retain this building for future years.
