The challenges and joys of a Greek Revival church in the middle of a field

Lunch in the church today with the Archdeacon of St Albans

Very happy to welcome Jonathan Smith (no, that's not him in the picture below..) to our church today for lunch in the church (thanks to all who helped, and particularly Carole for her delicious roast beef) and to show off our new loo and kitchenette. Still can't get over being able to turn a tap on in the church. Wonder what Revett would have said about our messing up the symmetry of his building; happily this can't be seen from the front. Would he have ever believed that his temple-in-a-field still be standing nearly 250 years later, let alone house a flushing loo - and a dishwasher? Looking forward to Jason Kelly's talk on Revett on December 4th @ 19.30 in the church. Do come!

SErvices in  2023

Look at our Facebook page for details, but normally they take place on the third Sunday of the month. We are hoping to move towards "Festival Church" status, which means we will follow dates for Christian  and secular Festivals, and try to focus on the interests of our community, linking the secular with the spiritual.

​After any of these services, why not book yourself in for lunch at the lovely Brocket Arms, originally the monastic quarters for the old, now ruined church a short stroll away 01438 820250.
