Disused building

On the corner of Lenwade Street. This long building constructed from corrugated sheets has doors and windows boarded up and a sign affixed to the door says "Keep Out!" Link What purpose it once served I do not know; it adjoins the Lenwade Primary School - a former school room, perhaps?

Says the sign affixed to the door of this disused building > Link which is located at a bend in Lenwade Street, adjoining the Lenwade Primary School; perhaps it was once used as a schoolroom.

St Faith's - a redundant church

And soon to be converted into living accommodation. The building started out as a Victorian Mission Church which was once dedicated to All Saints; when the nearby St Faith's church at Little Witchingham (now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust) became redundant, its dedication was transferred to it. Despite its central location and easy access, being situated right beside the busy A1067 (Fakenham Road) - the main thoroughfare through Lenwade - the church was little used, and mounting maintenance costs were too high for the parish too afford. As a consequence the building was officially closed and in recent years surrounded by a security fence because its structure had become unstable and unsafe. It will shortly be marketed for residential conversion and all proceeds from the sale will be returned to the residual owner. See also: Link
