About Us

The church, mostly 14th century with Victorian refurnishing, stands within a churchyard mentioned in the Domesday Book, well known for its yew trees and is on the highest point overlooking the Stour Valley towards Long Melford and Lavenham. It contains the 16th century monuments of William Waldegrave and his wife and a daughter.

The parish of Borley is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
