About Us

Although Battlesden with Potsgrove is part of the Woburn Group of Parishes we feel different: we cover the largest plot of land and have the smallest population, being two small communities totalling approximately 60 people living in a few farms, farm cottages and established individual homes.

The parish of Battlesden is about 3.5 miles from Woburn, while a couple of miles across the rolling fields is the hamlet of Potsgrove with its own 14th Century church of St Mary the Virgin, which is looked after by the redundant churches trust.

St Peter & All Saints Church, Battlesden occupies a very scenic position on a small ridge. The Parish of Battlesden was joined in 1732 to the neighbouring Parish of Pottesgrave (Potsgrove).They share one incumbent (Priest) and a combined vestry team and today have a United Parochial Church Council and Church Wardens.
