More details to follow
When Corpusty church appeared in John Betjeman`s film A Passion for Churches in 1974 it was a boarded-up ruin. There was a ‘something must be done’ moment during a visit by Lady Harrod turning the church into the catalyst which led to the founding of the Norfolk Churches Trust. In 1982 St Peter’s was taken on by The Friends of Friendless Churches who carried out substantial work to the tower. Through them and the efforts of a few locals the building was stabilised to stop it deteriorating further. The roof was repaired and the windows glazed to keep out the worst of the weather. In 2009 the church passed into the care of the Norfolk Churches Trust.
So it seems apt in our 50th anniversary year that this church is the location for our AGM and we are delighted that Rachel Morley from the Friends of Friendless Churches will be our Guest Speaker.
