We are in an interregnum as our last priest in charge retired in 2022. We have Episcopal Oversight under the care of Bishop Norman Banks, Bishop of Richborough. The Diocese is in the process of linking St. Mary's church with the church of St. John the Baptist  Lound, to form a new benefice

On  Wednesday 27th March, some of us from Hemsby and Lound attended Bishop Norman's last Chrism mass at Walsingham.  Our Bishop will be retiring at Easter. I asked him if he was looking forward to retirement, and he said, "My diary is full." So, no rest for our Bishop. Then he said "It keeps you young to be busy". I agreed. So we will still see him on occasions.
