Hockering

On 13th November 2024 the PCCs of the benefice held a joint meeting, as required, to approve the Benefice Profile to be used in the advertising for a new rector. A copy of that profile can be viewed or downloaded from HERE. It has been sent to Archdeacon Catherine for use in the advert which will appear in the Norwich diocese "Pathways" section on the diocesan website (Vacancies - Diocese of Norwich) and which will be available to anyone looking for posts in this diocese. Catherine will create a job description and some other documents will be added to the advert, with the hope of getting these in Pathways by about 25th November.

The current intention is that applications should be received by 6th January 2025 and any applicants will visit the benefice and be interviewed on Wednesday 19th February 2025.

These are the dates being aimed at currently, but they may change.

How To Find Us

If coming to the church from the Norwich direction, head west along the A47. As you approach Hockering, there is an angled turn off to Hockering itself. Ignore this and turn right into The Street only when you have passed Mill Lane on your left. Once on The Street, turn left and follow the road round to your right. You will see St. Michael's on your right. There is usually space to park on the side of this quiet road in front of the church itself.
If coming to the church from the Dereham direction, bear left onto an unnamed road which heads directly to the church. At this left turn you will see a white P on blue background (parking) sign) As you actually turn into the unnamed road heading to the church you can see St. Michael's in the distance.
