The earliest reference to King's Sutton is in the story of Saint Rumbold, who was born here in 662.



The building has Norman elements and was completed in the 14th Century. Its finest feature is the tower and spire, rising to 198 feet. It is one of the finest spires in the country. It is normally open during daylight hours.
 


The Church has been in the Anglo-Catholic tradition since the late 19th Century. The PCC has requested alternative Episcopal oversight, and the parish is in the care of the Bishop of Richborough. All are welcome whatever their views on these matters. 


There are varieties of services, but most are formal, traditional in style with excellent music. Our regular pattern of services can be seen by clicking on the tab marked ‘Worship’.



Accessibility:

The west porch has level access into the church and we have a loop system and large print service books available. There is an accessible toilet in the Church Room.



Floodlighting:

The building is floodlit each evening but may be sponsored to mark an anniversary or other celebration, in which case it remains lit all night. Contact Trevor Bell, 5 Halestrap Way, telephone: 07769236699 email: [email protected].
