St John the Baptist

We are a small church with a big heart at the centre of our community.

Tidebrook Church is located half-way between Wadhurst and Mayfield. Built in 1856, it is a listed building mentioned in Pevsner’s Buildings of England.

The beautiful churchyard, with the graves of many former residents of Tidebrook, extends down to the valley where a stream runs through the woodland, providing a haven for wildlife. Visitors often remark on the friendly nature of both the building and the congregation. A service is held in the church most Sundays.
