King’s Lynn Minster<br />

St Margaret’s Church was founded in 1101 by the first<br />

Bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga, to be the<br />

church for the town and for the Benedictine Priory<br />

<strong>co</strong>nnected to it. The magnificent church can be found<br />

in the heart of historic King’s Lynn alongside other<br />

splendid buildings.<br />

In 2011 the current Bishop of Norwich, supported by<br />

the Borough Council, designated St Margaret’s as a<br />

Minster Church. This status reflects the service that it<br />

offers beyond its locality, to <strong>West</strong> <strong>Norfolk</strong> and the<br />

Diocese of Norwich, as well as its size and outstanding<br />

historical and architectural significance.<br />

SOME SAFETY TIPS<br />

Black-and-white chequered flags indicate an<br />

area of water for use by water craft. Do not<br />

swim or bathe in this zone.<br />

Children’s inflatables should always have a line<br />

<strong>co</strong>nnected, held securely by an adult on the shore.<br />

Remember to protect yourself against the<br />

sun’s rays. Slip on a shirt, slap on a hat and<br />

slop on sunscreen.<br />

Always check the tide before you enter the<br />

water.
