Holt Area Partnership

The Holt Area Partnership’s focus is to improve the quality of life for people in Holt and the surrounding area, as shown on our map – the twenty rural parishes contain over twenty five villages in North Norfolk, and our Parishes page gives local information.

How the Holt Area Partnership makes a difference
The main way that the Holt Area Partnership is able to help the local population is through supporting the delivery of a wide range of projects and encouraging partnerships. The projects are set up to respond to needs and they aim to provide tangible benefits to the area.

Projects may be social, economic or environmental – or all three! And they also have to be as cost-effective and sustainable as possible.

Hempstead Millennium Tapestry

In 1998, the ladies of the Kneeler Group decided to celebrate the Millennium by making another kneeler but, propitiously, they were given a gift of canvas and wool and other possibilities came to mind. Eventually a tapestry depicting some of the houses that can be seen on a walk from Court Green to Pond Hills was decided upon. 

The houses chosen were Crabapple Cottage, Wayside and The Forge, Whitehorse Cottages, a house in Chapel Lane, Church Cottages, Marlpit Cottage, The Great Barn, and Brownwood. And, of course, the Church takes centre stage. All these buildings represent the different types of architecture to be seen in the village. 

The Kneeler Group involved as many people from the village as possible to either stitch a panel, or put a stitch or two in the border. The border itself tells more about our village...

The tapestry was finished in 2000.

Hempstead Church

All Saints Church, Hempstead-by-Holt is both interesting and unusual in its development. Over the centuries the building has been greatly altered and it retains features of many periods. The original church stood to the north of the present building, and when the Saxon church was demolished , the tower, the original west wall of the nave and part of the north wall alone were retained. The most recent addition was in the 20th century when the thatched Apse was added in 1928.

The church is lovingly cared for by its congregation, and is always open for prayer and reflection. The Holt Country Park circular walk skirts the edge of the churchyard, and the church makes a wonderfully peaceful haven for a cool rest midway on the walk. 

All Saints is part of the Barningham Benefice, and two services take place each month. Details of these are in the Village Diary.
