A grant to help fund a project to completely replace rainwater goods and provide a new drainage system. A medieval and later flint, brick and stone parish church, consisting of a west tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch and a chancel with a south vestry. The parish of Scarning lies immediately to the west of the parish of Dereham. It comprises the old village around the church, several outlying hamlets and a large, modern estate on the Dereham boundary. The only amenities in the centre of the village are the playing field, village hall and church. There are no shops or pubs and public transport is very poor. The church has free use of the village hall and its facilities, which stands opposite.
