St Edmund dates back to Norman times, and features an unusual Tudor brick tower and Victorian north aisle. It is situated a little way away from the modern centre of the village, at the end of a pretty track, which gives the church a special feeling of peace and tranquillity, and given the comments in our visitor’s book, many visitors appreciate this.

We now have regular monthly services on the 4th Sunday of the month and are joined by a growing and varied congregation - please feel welcome to join us, especially if you are planning a visit.. Times vary, please refer to services tab.

The church remains open at all times (we have evidence this is appreciated occasionally by some less fortunate than ourselves)

We had our last Quinquennial in 2009 and have raised funds, from a very low level, and completed first tranche of urgent repairs. We have been granted an English Heritage grant for replacing the north aisle and north side of the nave roof completely. These take about two years to progress to actual building work. We have to raise £22,000 to complete this work, which is a major challange for such a small village!

A big thank you very much because none of this would have been possible without your continuous and generous support!

The money raised through regular collections at our church services is shared between supporting our own church and vicar and charities, such as (in 2009) 'Crisis at Christmas, Centrepoint, Villa Maninga in Mozambique, The Royal British Legion.

The amount we are likely to raise from village events, which we all enjoy, is more difficult to predict, and more regular donations give us greater scope to plan work ahead

If you are able to pledge a regular amount monthly or annually, however small (like £5 a month), this has the benefit of attracting an additional 20% from the government (if you are a basic rate taxpayer). So for every £5 you give, we get £6…what a deal!

A plan of the grave yard is posted on here for those researching their family. We'd love to hear from you if you are searching...
