About Us

All are welcome to our services which are held here three times a month (Holy Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sundays and Morning Prayer on the 4th Sunday).

The church is available for weddings, christenings, and funerals. The church is also used termly by St Helena's Church of England Primary Academy, nearby. 

The parish church of St Helena dates mainly to the 14th century. The most famous name associated with Willoughby is Captain John Smith (baptised here in 1580), a leader of the Virginia Colony in the "New World" who famously claimed to have been saved from death by Pocahontas. There are stained glass windows commemorating his life and the founders of the New England colony in America.
