St Nicholas’ Church is the Parish Church of Great Yarmouth and is situated in our Home Town, where we have traded since 1816.

This church, reputed to be the largest parish church in England, the size of a small cathedral, was founded in 1101.

Bunn has become an inaugral Major Benefactor to St Nicholas Church Preservation Trust, which aims to restore, repair and maintain, for the benefit of the public, the fabric of St Nicholas Church.

Our donation will help the church organ, which is in need of repair to be replaced in due course.  The organ was built in 1882 by William Hill, one of the best English organ builders of his time, for St Mary Boltons church in Brompton. Hill then rebuilt the organ in 1908. In 1960 Compton moved the organ to St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth, and added a few stops to it. The case that the organ now sits behind was donated by the Freemasons of the town and was designed by Dykes-Bower.

The Church was heavily bombed in the Second World War. In the 1950s it was restored and it re-opened in 1961. T It is at the heart of the Great Yarmouth community. Amongst those who have worshiped here are Lord Nelson and the surgeons Sir James Paget and Sir Astley Cooper. Over the years the church has received many royal visitors.
