The tiny hamlet of South Acre was once a thriving village but has now all but disappeared. It is a far cry from its much busier cousin Castle Acre. St George's Church is partly Norman (the nave and font) with additions in the 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th centuries. In the church yard at the front is the remains of a stone medieval cross.
