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 />

identifiable by the splendidly<br />
unusual black and white clock.<br />
The town retains a really<br />
intimate feel, characterised by<br />
many fine buildings, a bustling<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.
