The village of Castle Acre is a major tourist attraction in Norfolk. The church of St James the Great stands in the middle of the village amidst the ruins of the Norman castle and those of Castle Acre Priory. Visitors can often miss the church which is a great shame for it contains many interesting features, including a wine glass pulpit, a medieval rood screen and font cover. The Friends of Castle Acre Church assist in raising funds to maintain this fine church.
If you have had any previous connection with, or a love, of St James the Great Church then we invite you to help the congregation to retain this building for future years.

The village of South Acre has almost disappeared. The Church of St George is one of those unspoilt treasures. The church building owes much to the endeavours of the Harsyke family. There is a magnificent alabaster and marble monument to Sir Edward Barkham former Lord Mayor of London and his wife. In the north aisle lies the effigy of a Knight Templar.
In South Acre the population is only 25.
