Churches in Ovington Parish

Ovington: St John the Evangelist

Church Road Ovington Norwich (20 miles)

A small, beautiful, calming, delightful village church, it is about 900 years old and is situated just behind the village hall. Well kept churchyard. Leaflets details its history and architectural quirks are available.
A perfect place for a small wedding (subject to conditions) because it's better to have a small church full than rattling round in a large one! It has an excellent (electronic) organ that can rattle the windows, a single bell and a lovely intimate atmosphere.
The village hall is adjacent and can be hired for receptions etc.. Both share the (grassed) car park.
