Elmstone Church

The village of Elmstone dates back to the Domesday Book, but the church is probably a littlelater, most likely mid-late 12 th Century. The Church is unusual in having no dedication to aSaint and is in a lovely peaceful location. Although small, it has a number of fine features,including a Norman font made of Bethersden marble, some Norman windows (one with 14 thCentury glass) and an organ which was formerly in the chapel of Hatfield House, where itwas reputed to have been played by Queen Victoria. Services of Holy Communion are heldon 1 st and 3 rd Sunday of each month at 1030 and the Church also hosts regular villageevents and occasional concerts.
