St Mary the Virgin's Church in Chilton is a member of the Bernwode Benefice.

Since Norman times villagers have worshipped God on this spot, and perhaps even before that, as there was a village here in Saxon times, mentioned in the Doomsday Book as Ciltone.   

The village sits on the escarpment and most of the properties are blessed with extraordinary views over unspoilt countryside, yet we are less than an hour from central London. There is one service a month attended by a small but faithful group, but at Easter, Harvest and Christmas the church is full.
