Dist:0.4km<br/>St Michael's church became redundant during the 1970s and is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is an excellent example of Early English architecture, unusual to find in Norfolk. The east wall is believed to have been completely rebuilt, probably during the late 18th century; the church still has its 13th century lancet windows (look out for the decorated base of the window mouldings), and a 15th century font and roof. A key is available from the Old Rectory next door. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/coston/coston.htm

Dist:0.4km<br/>No longer needed for regular worship (according to a notice in the porch) St Michael Coston is still a consecrated building, cared for by the Churches Preservation Trust. According to another (planning application) notice in the grounds, they propose replacing the old pantiled roof with metal sheeting.
