All Saints Church, Hemblington

On Sunday 8th June at 9.30 am Hemblington Church celebrates Big Green Week with a special service focussed on Creation and surrounded by trees and fields as a reminder of God’s great plan. Please to join us for this special service.

We’re really pleased to be able to confirm the appointment of The Revd Andrew Tapsell as the next Priest in Charge of the Blofield and Broadside benefices. He is currently Assistant Curate in the Tenterden, Rother and Oxney benefice, in the Diocese of Canterbury. He will be licensed by the Bishop of Norwich on Thursday, 19th June at 7pm in Blofield Church, and we look forward to welcoming him and his family back to Norfolk where he has strong ties.
Also, we are pleased to announce that The Revd Cheryl Ramballi has been licensed as House for Duty Associate Priest. We are very pleased to be welcoming Cheryl and her husband to our benefice.

Great Big Green Week runs between Saturday, 7th June and Sunday, 15th June. The Friends will be organising a small exhibition in church. The highlight of the week will be Saturday, 7th June, when our ‘resident naturalist’, David Bryant will give a free talk starting at 12 noon: ‘Wildlife in a Country Churchyard’. This will be followed by an hour’s wildlife survey in the churchyard. The Annual General Meeting of the Friends group will follow at 2.15pm.

The next Make & Mardle will be on Thursday, 19th June 2025 at Hemblington Church from 10am to 12noon. Come and join us for a tea / coffee, cake, chat with optional craft. All will be very welcome.

As a retirement project, Andrew Hawkins is building a website which takes a virtual tour of places of interest in and around the historic city of Norwich, presented as a series of interactive 360-degree panoramas in which you, the viewer, can ‘turn the camera’ to look left and right and up and down. He has just added a section about Hemblington Church which contains beautiful views of our church. The Hemblington Church entry can be found at:

But have a look round the rest of the website for interesting insights into our local heritage.

For anyone who is researching family history in the Hemblington area we have a page explaining how you can access our church records.

This can be found here.
