The Old School House was built in 1844 as a Wesleyan Chapel. The design is typical of early Norfolk non conformist chapel architecture. In 1851 there was a religious census made (the only time this has ever happened). It records that an average of 70 people attended services at this chapel and records that on Sunday 30th March 1851 52 people attended the morning service and 46 in the afternoon including 12 Sunday scholars. In the 1880s the congregation became more numerous and affluent and then built the more traditionally designed Chapel which still stands next door.

This building was used was then used as a Sunday school and chapel rooms. Older residents of the village remember going to the Chapel services and the Sunday school and have happy memories of the Sunday school outings to Hunstanton. (The really canny ones used to go on the church treats too!).

You could get a taxi from station if you wanted a quiet weekend away from it all. The pub opposite it’s very friendly and serves food Wednesday Thursday Friday and Sunday evenings. Seaside is 40 minutes drive. Ely Cambridge Norwich Thetford Forest Oxborough are all within easy reach

“Fabulous”

Reviewed 23 Apr 2019

We spent a brilliant weekend here to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. There were 7 adults, a baby and a dog. We were welcomed by the owner Ian. Inside we were greeted by chocolates and prosecco. There is a large reception room with a piano which my husband enjoyed. The kitchen is spacious and we loved sitting around the big table. It is fully equipped. There is a downstairs toilet and utility room. Upstairs were four large bedrooms, one en suite. There was a big family bathroom and lovely roll top bath. Every evening we spent sitting in the front garden overlooking the village pond and pub. It was great for the dog as it had a large gate. The village is very pretty and a great base to explore the area. We visited Oxburgh Hall, a lovely National Trust property, which was about 10 minutes away by car. The Bedingfeld Arms is next door, serving great food. We visited Hunstanton and Thetford forest. It is also near Sandringhan. We were sad to leave.

Response from the owner Many thanks Nick Pleased you had a lovely weekend in The Old School House. The garden, as stated in the details , is small (just over 30sq m ) and dog and child safe with railings and secure gate .It overlooks the village pond so you can watch the ducks and moorhens and maybe even see a fisherman catching one of the large carp. In the summer there is garden furniture so you can eat alfresco if you wish.
