Church in the woods
This is one of the very few churches in England that has until now remained unphotographed for Geograph. It is a Roman Catholic church, built under the instructions of the then owner of Lynford Hall, Yolande Lyne Stephens. According to the Norfolk Churches website http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/lynford/lynford.htm she was fed up with having to travel to Thetford for services, so in 1878 ordered this church to be built on her estate. Mass is still held here, on Saturday evenings, as 'anticipatory for Sunday'.

Lynford church
Our Lady and St Stephen, Lynford
On the edge of the Norfolk battle training area, stuck away in the woods, is the tiny Catholic church of Our Lady of Consolation and St Stephen. It was built by the fabulously wealthy Mrs Lyne-Stephens in 1878. She lived at Lynford Hall, and, as Pevsner puts it, 'tired of travelling into Thetford' for Mass.
