Welcome to Pauntley Church, a place of Christian worship since about 1180. Built by Norman stonemasons it sat between the manor house and it's farm, the centre of a small community - now that community includes the hamlets of Pool Hill, Brand Green and Ketford but is still a peaceful rural area. Pauntley's most famous son was Richard Whittington, [ Lord ] Mayor of London 4 times and whose life gave rise to the story of Dick Whittington and his cat.
We have two regular services a month, Holy Communion at 11am on the 2nd Sunday and Evensong at 6pm on the 4th Sunday and our small friendly congregation are always pleased to see new faces, so do come along.
"Our parish of Pauntley: St John the Evangelist is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [email protected] . If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
