Aldborough Church
There are six parishes in the Scarrowbeck benefice: Alby, Aldborough, Calthorpe , Erpingham, Ingworth and Thwaite. There is also a redundant church at Thurgarton, now in the parish of Aldborough. The name of the benefice was chosen because the Scarrowbeck is a stream that runs through all the parishes.

Recently we have been experimenting with a different pattern of services in the benefice.
On the 1st Sunday in each calendar month there will normally be just one service in the different churches by turn. This is advertised locally and in the parish magazine - and in the Calendar on the website.

The Rector is the Revd Brian Faulkner. He lives at The Rectory, School Road, Erpingham, NR11 7QY. His phone no is 01263 768073 and his e mail brian-faulkner@lineone.net. (His day off is Monday.)
He writes: 'This beautiful corner of North Norfolk is a good place to live.
Six small communities are linked together by a stream, the Scarrowbeck, which gives the parish churches of the area a name that identifies us, and unites us in a renewed sense of vision. This website attempts to show who we are, what's going on, and where to find us.
You are warmly invited to explore, to question and to join in.'
