About Us

Nestled in the heart of the South Downs, St. Peter’s Church, Folkington, is a Grade I listed 13th-century gem, rich in history and charm. Built of flint and rubble, the church boasts 18th-century box pews, grand funerary monuments, and a weatherboarded bell turret with a shingled spirelet. The peaceful churchyard is home to notable graves, including that of famed cookery writer Elizabeth David. Inside, a small stone relief by renowned sculptor John Skelton adds to the beauty of this historic place. Join us for our warm, welcoming services and enjoy the timeless atmosphere of our ancient parish church.
