A middle of the road, broad-minded church. Most services are parish communion which begins at 11.00 am but we join with St Mary the Virgin, Buckland every third Sunday for a Joint Family Service. We have a regular congregation of about 50 or so and have a strong choir. The church appeared in the 1995 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. The parish is 'in plurality' with Buckland, St Mary the Virgin and part of the Upper Mole Group Ministry.
