St Nicholas is a 12th century church located in the centre of the village of Castle Hedingham. It is a large church for the size of village because of its relationship and shared history with Hedingham Castle. It has been described as being the most exciting church in Essex and it still has many wonderful signs of its rich history which you are invited to discover.
We are a friendly community and welcome everyone to join us in our holy communion services at 11am on the first and third Sunday of each month. We also welcome you to our popular coffee mornings every Monday between 10.30am and 12pm where you can meet many residents of the village enjoying lovely homemade cakes and conversation.
The Parochial Church Council are committed to upholding and promoting the Safeguarding Policies of Chelmsford Diocese as part of the Church of England.
