Reepham is unusual in that it has two linked medieval churches - St Mary's and St Michael's in its churchyard, one hiding behind the other. Once there were three - the remains of the third are still apparent.
St Mary's is used for main services and has a Victorian interior.
St Michael's, newly refurbished (May 2011) is used for occasional services and as a hall serving the church and wider community.
