Church of St. Peter and St. James

Church of St. Peter and St. James 

The church dates from the 13th century although the remains of a Saxon preaching cross in the churchyard show that there has been a Christian community here for well over a thousand years. The tower is original Norman whilst the nave was extended and modified in Victorian times. The traditional surrounding church yard is a haven of peace and wildlife. 

The church is open during day light hours and visitors are more than welcome. An information board outside the church tells the story of the local community and further information is displayed inside the church

We are a small but very friendly crowd and we are always pleased to meet new faces; do come along to one of our services, times are shown on the village notice boards outside the church and the village shop in Halwill Junction. Or visit our website:
