Footage appeared to show a group of five young people, including three boys and two girls, breaking four panes in the leaded porch windows of Pulham St Mary Church.
Police have said they plan to arrest the identified youths as part of an on-going investigation into criminal damage.
District councillor Clayton Hudson, who manages the CCTV system at the church and released the video, said: “Seems the images/footage and publicity via social media and in the EDP has assisted in identifying the individuals involved.
“Many thanks to everyone who has assisted. Let's hope justice prevails and individuals learn an important lesson.”
The smashed windows in the porch, which dates back to 1478, had been replaced last September at the cost of £4,500.
Anyone with any further information should contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting crime reference number 36/14394/22.
