History

Reepham and Whitwell Churches
[edit | edit source]

Reepham St Mary is an Ancient parish in the Diocese of Norwich and includes Kerdiston. Known as Reepham with Kerdiston it is the surviving church of 3 for Reepham.

The Church memorials record the Kerdiston family. The altar tomb to Sir William de Kerdiston is accompanied by a floor brass of Sir William and with his wife Cecily in brass on the chancel floor, pairs of 14th century figure brasses are rare.

Reepham has three churches on one sight two standing and the other ruined.

Reepham's three-in-one churchyard is overlooks the market place. How did it come to be home to three churches? Churches sharing churchyards is not that uncommon; one needs to consider the difference between a parish and its town or village; we also need to consider the medieval functions of a parish church, which were Roman Catholic churches.

In Reepham three parish boundaries occupy the same site but each served different areas The adjacent parishes were Hackford (now ruined) and Whitwell .
