Ascension Day Service (Thursday)

for 1 hour
St Peter & St Paul Edgefield
Sweetbriar Lane Edgefield, NR24 2AF, United Kingdom

Ascension Day is one of the earliest Christian festivals dating back to the year 68 CE. According to the New Testament in the Bible, Jesus Christ met several times with his disciples during the 40 days after his resurrection to instruct them on how to carry out his teachings. It is believed that on the 40th day he took them to the Mount of Olives, where they watched as he ascended to heaven.

Come and join us to reflect and celebrate this important part of the Christian Faith.

St Peter & St Paul Edgefield

We have the newest church in the benefice, consecrated in 1884. The old church had fallen into such a state of disrepair that Canon Walter Marcon, whose father was rector here before him, decided to build a new church more - central to both halves of the village, The Street and The Green. This was quite an undertaking - come and visit and find out more!
