Cold Overton: St John the Baptist

Welcome to our Parish Church of St John the Baptist which sits within the small village of Knossington and Cold Overton. We are one of the grouping of 5 churches that form the Whatborough Parishes Benefice located to the east of Leicester, close to the border of Leicestershire with the small county of Rutland. 

We have occasional services, more frequent services are held at the other churches within the Whatborough Benefice (see the newsletter available via this page) and elsewhere within the Launde Deanery Minster Community (at Welcome to the Launde Deanery Minster Community Website - see Service Times tab)
