Parish church

The ancient parish church of Linstead Magna was dedicated to St Peter. [2] The church fell into ruins many centuries ago, and almost no trace remains.

Nonetheless, a procession and open air service is held at the site of the church on Church Farm, Linstead Magna, every two years. [3]

Fakenham Magna is a village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk in eastern England.
