History edit

The church is medieval with later additions. Built of flint with stone and brick dressings. The tower dates from ca. 1410 and was built by Sir Simon de Felbrigg. Although a village was originally located around the church, in the 16th century following an outbreak of the plague the village was rebuilt in a new location to the north-east, leaving the church isolated.

Parish status edit

The church is in a joint benefice with:

Memorials edit

 
Monumental brass of Simon de Felbrigge and wife Margaret of Teschen

Organ edit

 
Pipe organ from St Botolph's Church, Banningham, now in Felbrigg church

The organ is thought to be by Lewis & Co and was originally in St Botolph's Church, Banningham. It was installed at Felbrigg in 1997 by Holmes & Swift. A specification of the organ can be found in the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
