Welcome to Pentney Church. Christians have been worshipping in this place for over a thousand years.
The church was once owned by the friars of nearby Pentney Priory. This might account for its amazing decor - the delicate Norman arches on the inside walls could surely only be produced by a skilled stonemason. Look out for the traces of ancient wall-paintings, the crucifixion scene over the altar (containing people from the 19th century) and the jolly little gargoyles and statues inside and out.
Although the friars have been gone for five hundred years, the church remains. It stands next to the Village Hall, still serving its local community. Do come along. We look forward to welcoming you.
Pentney Church is part of the Nar Valley Benefice.
Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies. Each church has its own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Their contact details are available in our churches.
Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact a PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. 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.
