Evening Prayer in Traditional Language

Monthly. Every Fourth Sunday at for 45 mins
St John the Baptist, Cockayne Hatley
Cockayne Hatley near Sandy Bedfordshire, SG19 2EA, United Kingdom

This service is much loved in the Church of England. It’s a service that began its development in the 16th century but actually has ties to much early forms of worship in monasteries. It uses traditional language and through its regular rhythm is a time of prayer and reflection.

There will not be a service of Evening Prayer on 22 June 2025 because that is the day of our Patronal Festival (see elsewhere on this page). The next service of Evening Prayer will be on Sunday 27 July 2025 at 4 pm.

Welcome to the website of St John the Baptist, Cockayne Hatley. 

We are a small group of people who seek to serve God's mission both as a parish church to the village of Cockayne Hatley and increasingly as a 'thin space' for people to visit for quiet days, study days, retreat days and concerts. You can find out more about us by exploring the pages listed on the left of this webpage or using the menu button in the top right.

Our Churchwarden is Christine Armistead and she can be contacted at 07446 211217.

We regularly host pre-arranged church visits and tours for groups to share the beauty and history of St John the Baptist's Church - please get in touch on 01767 631443.

We hope to meet you at one of our services or events soon!
