St John the Baptist is a church in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, with a partly sung Eucharist led by a choir[see Friday events]. We sponsor the neighbouring church-aided primary school, which is popular and successful. We worship in a Victorian stone church set in a lovely country churchyard.
We are one of two churches in our parish [see link to the daughter church - Christ the King, in Sonning Common], and part of a united benefice with Rotherfield Peppard.
For further information about the Clergy and our parish magazine, see the "About the Parish" link, on this page.
