This church in Thetford Forest, Norfolk, containing a chancel and chapel by Pugin, is under the patronage of the Guild of All Souls.
The village was compulsorily abandoned in WW2, since when it has been part of the Army’s Stanford battle training area. St Mary’s, the only complete building which remains, is usually inaccessible to the public.
Two services are permitted each year; a carol service in Advent arranged locally and a Mass arranged by the Guild each Summer. The Guild is most grateful to the Army for permitting access on this occasion.

NB: Please ensure you are at the church in good time. As this is an Army Training Area and security is paramount, you will not be allowed access if you arrive late. 
Bishop Norman addressing the congregation at the end of Mass in 2024 on his last celebration as President of the Guild. About 90 attended the Mass, including the Horatio Singers who sang Byrd's Mass for four voices as the setting.
