The church of St Lawrence is an attractive 11th century church, a hidden gem to be found at the west end of the village off Bainton Lane. It is a well kept church with a small regular congregation of around 11 consisting mainly of people of 65+ years. Festivals attract higher figures of 40 - 60. We have a PCC and volunteers keep the church running, provide flowers and ensure the church is clean. The churchyard is maintained on contract. The church has an occasional gift day and holds an annual coffee morning. The Group Ministry Team provides support for services in the Tallington Care Home in the village.
