We are a small, vibrant, welcoming community of faith in the heart of our village. Please see the ‘Services and Events' section for more details of each service. 

We are conscious that we stand in a long line of Christian worshippers who have met in this place for centuries: it has been suggested that the first church on this site, which consisted of a simple Norman nave and chancel was built soon after 1087 by the De Beauchamp family. The church was rebuilt in the 15th century, refurbished in the 19th century, and updated in recent years to provide facilities such as a small kitchen and toilet.

The church is also used widely by the community for various events.

 A warm welcome awaits you!
