An active church with regular services and a welcoming congregation, it continues to serve the village in all seasons. As well as our twice monthly services, we hold special seasonal services, and welcome a number of couples to celebrate their weddings with us. 

The church stands in an elevated position above village green, hall and the pond and was originally started in the mid-14th century (1348), prior to the Black Death. Work stopped during the pestilence and was restarted nearer to the end of that century and gradually added to in the subsequent centuries with major restoration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Of note are the ten 15th century pews at the back of church with their distinctive poppy head finials (lovely to look at – murder to sit on!) the 17th century pulpit and the glorious 15th century chancel screen. 

The parish of Sandon is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of St.Albans’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police on 999 and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
