Our lovely church serves the villages of Flitton, Greenfield and Wardhedges. We have a small congregation, but we still have a service most Sundays.

We cater for all tastes, from the traditional through to the informal. Whether you are familiar with the Church of England or new to it, we are sure you will find something you can appreciate. We hope you will come and visit the church and take part in our activities.

There is much more information on our website - www.flitton.3churches.uk so please head over to there and browse. 

We are very lucky to have such a lovely old church. Cool and peaceful, it is ideal for reflection and popular for weddings,and the De Grey Mausoleum is open to the public by English Heritage, and sometimes by us.  The church dates from the 15th century, but there was a church on the site in 1261, and Flitton is mentioned in the Domesday Book, so there is lots of interesting local history.
