A Norfolk Christian bookshop will be one of only two in the country to continue the 300-year-old practice of selling Communion wine following the change in licensing laws.

"The same law change that is allowing bars and clubs to serve alcohol for longer will stop the majority of the 25 SPCK branches selling the wine because of the prohibitive expense of the new licences and the conditions relating to them. Licences cost about £600, plus a £180 annual renewal fee, and there will be a requirement for the first time for at least two members of staff to be in the shop the whole time. But the Norwich SPCK already has a licence for its café, which is part of the bookshop and resource centre at St Michael at Plea Church in the city."
