HORSHAM ST FAITH Horsham St Faith is a quiet village conveniently located approximately 5 miles north of Norwich, which offers a number of sought after schools and colleges as well as a large number of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and services. The Cathedral City of Norwich offers access to all the major rail links and Norwich International Airport.

Horsham St Faith itself is surrounded by delightful countryside, yet benefits from amenities including local schooling, popular restaurants/pubs and a convenience store.

Thought to have been settled in early Saxon times, the village takes its name from the River Hor, which runs through it on its way from Horsford to Horstead and a Benedictine priory, founded in honour of the French Saint Faith. The village has seen a succession of Lords sitting in the manor house, which was converted from the old priory. The monks' refectory still remains, and contains its original 13th century wall painting the only one of its type in England.

The parish church of St Mary and St Andrew is a Grade 1-listed building that includes some fascinating features. Horsham St Faith also saw action in WW2, when Spitfires were flown from the base – now Norwich International Airport.

The village offers good access to the Norfolk broads and the north Norfolk Coast with its attractive coastline, as well as delightful countryside walks and nature reserves just a few miles away.
