A perfectly modest parish church

Built in red brick, with contrasting bands of black brick, St Helen’s stands on a mound near the centre of an attractive village.

This charming Victorian church with its contrasting bricks, vibrant stained glass and elegant spire is in the style of the early 14th-century.

It was considered to be a model for parishes of modest means.

    I haven't visited this church yet.

    Thank you for putting the full address of the church - so many websites list the church, but not the address.

Keyholder

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Disabled access

Unfortunately, disabled access to this church is difficult.

Facilities

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
