Welcome to the Church of St Peter and St Paul in the Parish of Kedington. 

Sitting on the top of the hill, above the River Stour, our church looks down over the village. The tower, with its chiming clock, keeps time for us. The bells call us to worship and celebrate festivals and life events with us. 

We are now in the season of Advent and if you live locally, you will see the tree on top of the towers with lights that shine out like a beacon. This tree was purchased by Daphne Smith in memory of her late husband Barry Antony Smith. The tree inside the church was purchased by the Neal Family and Daphne, together. 

Kedington Rangers have been in the church to decorate the Guiding Tree, make the advent ring and decorate the large tree. We are grateful to them for their help with these things. See photos in the "news and notices" section.

There will be a Candlelight Carol Service at 4pm on Sunday 22 December. All are welcome. Plus a Crib Service on Christmas Eve at 3pm. If you wish to attend church on Christmas Morning, join with the rest of the Benefice at All Saints Great Thurlow at 10am.

We are open to visitors everyday, 365 days of the year, between 10am and 4pm. Enjoy the peace and quiet and perhaps add a prayer to our prayer board, light a candle in memory of a loved one or browse the second hand books. 

For all other services in this church and the other seven in our Benefice, please check on the "services and events" tab in the menu on the left. 

The restoration of the church porch and south-facing windows is almost complete. We are grateful to the Suffolk Historic Church Trust (SHCT) and the Benefact Trust for their financial support.
