The Parish

All Saints’ is a Chapel of Ease in the Parish of South Creake with Waterden and is part of the Creakes Benefice. At different times over the centuries, however, Waterden parish has either stood alone or been associated with others such as Egmere and Holkham. Graves ranging from the medieval to 21st century burials demonstrate a continuity of purpose and devotion.

The earliest name we have for a rector is from about 1260. The last rector left or died in the mid-1950s. The rectory, now known as the Old Rectory, was built in 1850. It lies just to the south of the church and is part of the estate of the Earls of Leicester, who are patrons of All Saints’.
