St Fursey's is a detached part of the Parish of St Helen of Colchester. Reader Steven Weston lives at the House, and welcomes any who care to worship with him or who wish to enquire about the Holy Orthodox Faith. He had a vision to adapt the House and build the Chapel and Library in the garden, and now runs the Centre for the good of the Holy Orthodox Church and for any who wish to make use of its resources, Orthodox or not. Around him is a small community of Orthodox faithful.

Sutton is about 15 miles north-east of Norwich, on the A149 a mile south of Stalham.

St Fursey's House, tucked away at the back of a small, modern estate, is open for day or residential visitors, the ideal location for a period of prayer and quiet in Norfolk's Broadland.

The heart and centre of the House is the beautiful wooden chapel, designed as a mini-basilica, in the garden, where there are daily "Reader services". It would be wise to ring to check on times of services before setting out.

Father Alexander Haig, the Parish Priest serves the Holy Liturgy monthly on a Saturday, usually but not always the first Saturday of the month, arriving the previous evening to serve Vespers.

A brochure about the work of St Fursey's House is available. A list of services is available monthly. Visitors, both Orthodox and non-Orthodox, are very welcome to attend all services in St Fursey's Chapel.
