Parish History
Fring All Saints is an Ancient parish in the Diocese of Norwich.

The church was built in 1300 – 1330 on lands owned by Norwich Priory from 1001, the Bishop of Norwich making provision for the monastic community by allowing the glebe land of the parish to profit the Priory. The original 14th C. bell still hangs in the bell tower and was restored in 1999.

Little change has been made to the structure since the Reformation other than the addition of a fine modern stained glass window in 1984.
