Binham Priory | Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross

Binham Priory guided tours

There is a Guided Tour of Binham Priory and its monastic precincts every Sunday and Tuesday afternoon starting at 3.00pm. These tours last for about an hour and run throughout the summer months from May to September. Booking ahead is not necessary. Many visitors find the interpretation panels very informative but if you like to ask questions or want the latest news about this building then do come along and join one of our tours.
Group tours can be arranged at mutually convenient times by contacting Maureen Frost on 01328 830362. A donation of £2 per person will help us to maintain this magnificent priory church.

The Priory Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross is open daily between 10am and 5pm for individual prayer in line with social distancing and hand hygiene guidelines.

The Priory Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross is open for worship as listed under Services at 11.00am in line with social distancing and hand hygiene guidelines.

ZOOM SERVICES

Zoom Services on Sundays will continue on a monthly basis – the first Sunday of the month at 5pm.

To participate please telephone Ian Newton on 01328 830947 or email iannewton46@ gmail.com. You will be warmly welcomed.

Ian Whittle is very keen that we continue to offer services for any who are not able to come to church.

I have been delighted to take part in Divine Worship on Zoom, made possible by Mr. Ian & Canon Fiona Newton, with whom I’ve worked closely over these last months. Vast thanks to all.

RECTOR’S LETTER

My Dearest Friends and Parishioners,

What a year for Great Britain and Ireland, a year of challenge and sadness, and of triumph. For we, with resistance, triumphed. I had the great pleasure of asking last April in the House of Lords that did the Lords Archbishop of York and Canterbury have the authority to order the closure of Parish Churches. The legal Counsel to the Speaker of The Lords said, ‘No’. The Church of England changed its rules overnight to guidance!

In our Constitution, under the laws and customs of England, the Parish Church belongs to the Rector and occupies a unique place in the hearts of our people.

My heart moves out to all with pain, illness or worry. Do let me know and I shall call. Do talk to me first before asking any other clergy who live in our several villages. I am your man. So just call.

And now is Summer. Shall we enjoy it? I think we should; and pray to the Almighty for a good harvest and peace and plenty.

So may there be Peace and Plenty, Pax et Bonum, and Fiat Lux,

Yours very truly,

Ian Whittle
