St Helen's Dry Sandford

St. Helen's Dry Sandford, built between 1850-1855 on the grounds of a medieval chapel, is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture. We've successfully re-opened our church on Easter Sunday, 31st March 2024 after 5 years of fundraising for repair work. We are open each Sunday at 11.15am for morning Worship. Come join us!
