Once a tiny fishing village, East Runton is now a very popular holiday resort close to Cromer.  The village has many caravan parks and guest houses and access to the beach, which sits below wonderful cliffs.  The village extends inland from the main road with cottages huddled around large open spaces, two commons called lower and top common.  St Andrew's, East Runton is on the edge of the lower common.  It is a mission church, a chapel-of-ease to the parish church of West Runton.  Worshp was established here in 1959 in what was one of the rooms of the former school, but it was only in 1977 that the present building, the former Infant's room, was turned into the church of St Andrew.  In 1996 the church was extended with the addition of an eastern apse.  A kitchen at the west end and a toilet and porch were added in 2003.  This simple and versatile building is both well used and well loved.     The worship here is of a relaxed Catholic flavour, vestments are worn and the Blessed Sacrament is reserved here.   The church is much used as a meeting place and the PCC and Mothers' Union meet here regularly.  The church is open daily.
