St Margaret's Church is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England Diocese of Norwich in Felbrigg, Norfolk.[3]
The church is medieval with later additions. Built of flint with stone and brick dressings. The tower dates from ca. 1410 and was built by Sir Simon de Felbrigg. Although a village was originally located around the church, in the 16th century following an outbreak of the plague the village was rebuilt in a new location to the north-east, leaving the church isolated.
