St. Margaret's Church at Worthing was originally a Saxon Church and is over 1000 years old. The Normans subsequently added a tower to the old Saxon Church and this was renovated in July 2011 after much support and fundraising from many families, friends and supporters. Even though this is a tiny village, you will always find a warm welcome when you visit St. Margaret's Church. Indeed, please dip into our Photo Gallery to view the various activities that take place from time to time. We hope you will be able to join us on such an occasion or perhaps at one of our Regular Sunday Services

Easter Sunday Annual Duck Race
Each year after our service, the annual duck race takes place along the River that runs through Worthing Village. 100 ducks in all are dropped into the river (each sponsored by a member of the village or local business) and travel approximately 100 yards up river to the finishing line. The first three ducks home - their sponsor is awarded an Easter Egg. This event is packed full of fun and banter and an excellent opportunity for everyone to come out and spend a little time together before their own Easter Celebrations begin.
