The parish church of Ormesby St Margaret dates back to the 14th century. It is a flint and stone building consisting of chancel, nave and aisles, with a fine square tower, surmounted by the figures of four monks in lieu of pinnacles and a vestry. The church contains several brasses and memorials to the Clere family - one of these was, the Lady Alice Clere, who helped complete the church. She, also, was an aunt of Anne Boleyn, the mother of Queen Elizabeth (Tudor) I ["the Virgin Queen"].

The patron saint, St Margaret of Antioch, was a virgin martyr. The vast majority of churches dedicated to her are in Norfolk, and there are 58 churches dedicated to her memory.
