The Hempnall Group of Parishes

Welcome to the Hempnall Group

We are a group of 6 rural parishes (8 churches) in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, who enjoy living, working and worshiping together.
The Group was founded in 1964. This was a pioneering and visionary step taken by Bishop Launcelot Fleming to revitalise and enrich the church in an area of thinly populated villages.

This has been our experience. Since then, the parishes have grown together and continue to share resources and benefit from opportunities for collaboration in numerous ways. We have discovered that can do more together than we can alone.

This is abundantly evident in these difficult times, where a network of practical support and help has emerged in our villages. Thank you to those who have a share in this. We all have different needs and there are those who can assist. Let’s continue to cope with this crisis with a spirit of kindness and loving service to those around us. Please don’t hesitate to contact someone to help or just for a chat.

Lent Lunches and Emmaus

Lent Lunches and Emmaus

Each year during Lent we enjoy simple lunches in aid of charity. This year we will be supporting Emmaus, locally based in Ditchingham.

Lent is a time for giving as well as ‘giving up’!

This year’s lunches:

Wednesday 4th March at 12 noon at Topcroft Pavilion

Monday 9th March at 12 noon at Hempnall Mill

There will be tasty home-made soups, biscuits and cheese.

There is no cost but donations to Emmaus.

It will be helpful if you can let Jackie or Margaret know that you will be coming.

Please contact: Jackie Leggett 01508 482267 for Topcroft and Margaret Sparham 01508 499579 for Hempnall
