- Coston, Norfolk (St Michael's Church)
Coston is a secluded, atmospheric Early English church that has survived almost unaltered from the 13th-century, apart from the pleasing brick south porch added in the 16th-century.
The exceptionally fine detailing of the 13th-century work is evident in the beautifully carved stone knots on the chancel arch.
The texture of the whole flint, stone, brick, pantiles, old render and plaster, all tempered by time is a joy in itself.
Inside, clear glass windows shine soft light on the mottled plaster walls and rustic furnishings.

If the access information for this church is listed as ‘Keyholder nearby’, this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
