Clerics | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

This Anglican Church in MacGregor, in the Municipality of North Norfolk, was purchased from a congregation at Stockton, where it was known as St. John the Divine Anglican Church, and brought here in the Fall of 1985 to replace an older church built in 1899. It was consecrated on 22 December 1985 at a ceremony attended by Rev. John Conlin.

Inside the church are honour rolls for parishioners who were killed during military service in the First World War and Second World War.
