About Us

Shiplake Church is an ancient church dating from 1229 and the Church where Alfred, Lord Tennyson married the Vicar's relative in 1850. It sits overlooking the Thames on a chalk escarpment, a mere 90 second walk from the Thames Path and is one of the churches included within the Oxford Diocese Thameside Pilgrim Way to be inaugurated in 2013.

The Church offers a blended mix of traditional and contemporary worship. All newcomers and visitors are warmly welcome. This website should provide you with some of the basic information. Please make yourself known to our team if you are new so that they can help you find your way around. 

If you’d like to get more involved in the activities of the church, please join us at one of our services or events, or get in touch with any of the clergy or church officers.
