Babingley is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Sandringham, in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk district, in the county of Norfolk, England, about 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Castle Rising and 5+1⁄2 miles (9 km) north-north-east of King's Lynn.
[3] The modern village is a small group of houses along the A149 road linking King's Lynn and Hunstanton.
The site of the abandoned village is in fields west of the main road, marked by the ruin of St Felix's parish church.
Babingley is said to be where St Felix of Burgundy, Apostle to the East Angles, landed in Britain in about AD 615.
The Wuffingas, the East Anglian royal family, invited Felix to evangelise their kingdom.
[5] St Felix made his cathedral on the other side of the kingdom at Dommoc, possibly the modern Walton.
[9] The church consisted of a nave, north and south aisles with two-bay arcade, chancel, and west tower.
Its condition has significantly declined since the 1970s,[citation needed] and what remains now is the 14th-century tower and empty shell of the nave and south aisle.
