Horsey parish sitson Norfolk's eastern coast, a wild and desolate area of marshalnd, grazing marsh and dunes. The dunes, themselves are Norfolk's protection, a fragile strip of sand and marram grass keeping at bay the North Sea. In 1953 Horsey was the scene of a major breach in the sea defences with thousands of acres swamped by the sea and much loss of like. The village centre is a tiny oasis of trees in an open, watery landscape.

As befits one of Norfolk's round towered churches, All Saints is early for Norfolk, probably 13th century rather than Norman. Much of the fabric was replaced during Victorian times but the thatched roof and narrow tower make a pretty combination.
