Village Church and Chapel

Our Parish Church started life back in the 12th century looking very different to the distinctive looking building on the hill you see today, thanks to a complete re-model in the 19th century.

While these renovations are not on the list of Villager George Gilbert Scott’s work, he must have had considerable input as two of his most favoured craftsmen, who worked with him on the Oxford Martyrs Memorial, were engaged to do the works here.

Visitors, who will find out church open and welcoming, can discover a clearly Scott inspired Arts and Crafts altar as well as other Scott inspired renovations, along with two dedicated 21st century works of religious art by local artist Phyllis King.

Wappenham Parish is part of the Astwell Benefice.  The Benefice also includes: Helmdon with Stuchbury and Radstone; Syresham with Whitfield and Lois Weedon with Weston and Plumpton.

Details of Wappenham services are put out on Wiz and displayed on the noticeboard in the churchyard.
