Welcome to the website for St Agnes' Church in Cawston, Norfolk. This large 14th century church lies at the centre of the village. The bell tower rises almost 120 feet (37 metres) and is visible for miles around.

St Agnes attracts many visitors each year with its fine hammer beam roof, decorated with carved angels, and a 15th century painted rood screen. Please come and join our regular worship (see calendar opposite) or just to marvel at this fine historic church.
