"The church stands on the main road from Diss to Winfarthing. Domesday Book mentions that Shelfanger had a church; but the first known incumbent was one Eudo, Rector in 1272, the last incumbent of Shelfanger as a single benefice was the Rev. A. B. Broadbent, who died in 1962. He and his widow left a sum of money for the restoration of the church, which was carried out in 1965-66.
The present church is simple but beautiful. The porch is of timber construction of the 16th century, but there is a Holy Water Stoup to the right of the 14th century North doorway. "
