All Saints -'The Lantern'

We are the United Parish of Parkend and Viney Hill, consisting of two churches - St Paul's, Parkend and All Saints, Viney Hill. The Vision for our Parish is that we share in God’s work of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and His love in our communities, spiritually, practically and sensitively.

Sunday morning Communion (CW) services are held at 10 a.m. at St Pauls Church, Parkend.

Sunday evening services are at All Saints, Viney Hill to include a BCP Said Communion service there once a month. Full list of services here.

There is also a Wednesday morning BCP said Communion at St Paul's at 10 a.m..

We are continuing to share an on-line liturgy on Sundays. Details in 'More about this Event' in each service below, or follow here. 

All Saints church is known as 'The Lantern' because from the outside its distinctive round sanctuary is shaped like an old  lantern and was the inspiration for F W Harvey's poem 'The Lantern on the Hill'. He regularly worshipped at this church.

Please note: There is currently no churchwarden for All Saints, Viney Hill church. This closed churchyard is maintained by West Dean District Council, to whom all enquiries regarding this churchyard should be made. Any other enquiries regarding All Saints should be addressed to [email protected], or c/o the vicar.
