Who we are
Welcome to St Mary's Church, Beachamwell, We are a very small Norfolk village of some 300 residents and are blessed with a beautiful thatched Saxo-Norman church that is over 1,000 years old.
Situated on the west end of the village green the Church is very much the centre of the village and community. Currently the church is undergoing a major restoration after a devastating fire in February 2022 that effectively destroyed everything except the walls and tower, and a few of the artefacts in the church.
Currently, while the church is rebuilt after the 2022 fire there is a service on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Village Hall. We would invite any and all to come to those services should you wish. During the week, Mon - Fri, while work on the church is ongoing, visitors to the site are welcome and should you wish to enter and see the work please contact Peter Berendt, the Churchwarden, who will be happy to provide a short tour and brief.

"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
