We welcome both parishioners and visitors alike to our historic 11th century village church, where we combine traditional and modern forms of worship in a friendly atmosphere.

Our main morning service is at 10am, and is usually a communion service from common worship, with music led by the choir.  
We also have a said BCP communion every Sunday at 8:45am.

Our service pattern also includes monthly services of morning praise & choral evensong, and more occasionally sung matins.

Church activities include a thriving musical tradition. including choirs for adults and young people, bell-ringing, a Sunday club, flowers, needlework, and a monthly cafe in the village hall.
