Welcome to St Peter & St Paul, where everyone is welcome. The red sandstone church with nave, chancel, and tower is small but considered by many to be something of a jewel. The present building is believed to date back to the early 17th century but the list of rectors goes back to 1326.
This Benefice takes the wellbeing and safety of the children and vulnerable adults that attend our church very seriously. If you wish to raise a Safeguarding concern, please contact Michael Huntingford our Safeguarding Officer, or Lynn Lake our Benefice Safeguarding Officer on 01823 400305 or by email at: [email protected].
