St. John’s Church stands wide open to the weather amongst fields and dykes with the lovely sandy beach just the other side of the sand dunes. Nearby stands Waxham Great Barn which is the largest in East Anglia. It was built by Thomas Wodehouse in the late 16th century. The inside of the church has plain creamy walls with Victorian floor tiles and there is a large memorial in the north wall with a painted inscription to Thomas Wodehouse. Services are held occasionally in St. John’s in the summer and also in December for a service of readings and carols.
The people here are always busy trying to raise funds for their churches. They hold coffee mornings, cake sales, jumble sales, Christmas Fayres and concerts in church throughout the year.
