The church was originally built in 1647 but virtually rebuilt in 1882 by the architect Edward Witts.

We are a friendly parish church in the beautiful small, north Hertfordshire village of Hinxworth.

The church is Grade II* listed.   The nave and chancel are 12th century, and the church was greatly extended in 1854.

On entering the church stand for a moment and take in the excellent proportions of the building with its limestone nave built in 1430 and the chancel and tower of pink sandstone, constructed in 1480.

From the very early days of its origins and starting to build just after the turn of the 20th century, through to its completion in 1978, the story of this great cathedral, the largest in the UK and the fifth largest in the world, is unique and fascinating.

Daresbury and its church are most well known because of the connection with Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, world famous as Lewis Carroll, who was born here in 1832 and baptised in the church.

Go through the Tudor gatehouse of Lullingstone Castle to see the 14th century flint church with 15th century rood screen and chapel and 18th century plaster ceilings with stained glass from the 14th to 18th centuries.
