St Leonard's Church

St Leonards is a 13th century church largely rebuilt in the 19th century. It was built to serve the farms in Chelsham, and still sits in farmland in the centre of the roads and bridle ways of the parish. Many of the services are from the Book of Common Prayer, usually with BCP Communion on the 3rd Sunday of the month and Mattins on the second Sunday.

We are resuming Sunday services in September with a pattern of twice a month, 2nd and 4th with Covid 19 precautions.

Communion services are traditional language from the Book of Common Prayer (1662) and Common Worship Order One, with Mattins and Morning Praise on other Sundays. We also celebrate Country services - in addition to the regular services, there is a yearly cycle of services celebrating the farming year and creation, staring with a Plough Sunday service in January, and including services for Rogation, Lammas and Harvest.

During the year there are other special services, including services to remember all those who have been baptized and married at the church,an Animal Blessing service , a service to remember the departed, and the Kelly service to remember the charitable giving of a local man who became Lord Mayor of London and who is buried in the churchyard. There are also Taize services on some evenings.

Most services start at 11.15am, with delicious cake and coffee after the service, provided by Nancy. Anyone is very welcome to visit our church and join in one of our services. Please check for times and services on this website /facebook page or on the benefice website

St Mary's is a medieval jewel. Built by Robert De Watville around 1080, it is largely unaltered. For nearly half the Christian Era, Robert's little church has stood in Farleigh, and the people of Farleigh and beyond have come to it to worship our Lord. We welcome all those who visit our church today.

Services at St Mary's are held in traditional language, following the Book of Common prayer. Parish Communion is on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month, and Mattins on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 9.30am. Services have resumed with Covid 19 precautions. Summer teas have been suspended for 2020. Usually in the summer, Afternoon tea with home made cake is also available in the hall and churchyard , and the church is open during the teas, so that visitors can look at this Grade 1 listed ancient church. Also in the summer, a service of Compline is held by candlelight each Sunday at 8 pm, with a short talk, by one of a wide variety of speakers, on the life of a person of faith or character from the Bible.
