A church has buried a time capsule complete with chocolate moulds.

Excavations for access improvement to the parish church in Fakenham provided the opportunity for the burial of a time capsule, to be discovered by future generations.

Revd Tracy Jessop, rector of the Parish Church, said: "The time capsule was a unique opportunity for the people of the parish church to contribute to our Town and County's history and leave a lasting legacy."

The stainless-steel capsule was crafted by local manufacturer Kinnerton’s Chocolate and was made in a way that ensures the contents stays dry.

It contains a variety of artefacts symbolic of the town and the church's life, including some of the history of the town, and what it is like now.

In addition to physical items like maps, guides, newspapers, photographs, and a cross made from olive wood from the Holy Land, a digital collection of information is also stored within the capsule.

The exterior features two chocolate moulds and a secret compartment that holds a limited edition history of Kinnerton's story in the town.
