It`s really strange, but i absolutely HATE religion, but i DO consider myself to live very much a Christian lifestyle, and i love old churches, and especially the history churches can show.

It used to be said that in Norwich you could go to a different church for every week of the year, and a different pub for every day of the year.  I'm sure many of both types of establishment have long since closed down, I wonder how many are left of each?

I would suggest that what you demonstrate there ST is the difference between "Religion" and "Faith", one is man-made and is taught, the other just sort of wells up from within.

Couldn't agree more... I hate religion too...

Lovely resource Peter... There are some fabulous old churches in the county...

Apparently years ago our village had 27 pubs !! When we moved in it had 3 and sadly we are now down to 1. 

The churches have outlived the pubs and are still open!!! Although some of the visitors don't leave.

i too am not religious, but am impressed with the quality and style of many churches and you do get that feeling of a greater being when you enter one. Or maybe that is just the people who toiled to build them. 

Norfolk is the land of churches. Even the smallest village often has a church the size of a small cathedral.

Agreed Mark, I put Irstead Church in that category, only managed to go there once, its a very old building but worth a visit. I think it was in the 70's we signed the visitors book there.

Re the pubs in Norwich, ask Howard (Norfolk Nog), i`m sure he`s been in most, if not all of them?. 

Sorry Howard.
