Notched into the summit of the circular mound at the centre of the village of Cumwhitton, St Mary's is an ancient church dating from about 1160AD.

St James is built on ‘holy ground where the saints of old worshipped untold centuries ago’.

The church is at the centre of the village and since modernisation has been used as a community centre.

Beautifully updated ancient church.

Our medieval church was built in the mid 13th century, and has splendid views over the North Downs.

St Peter's was completed in 1879 to a design by GE Street as the founding mother church of Bournemouth.

'One of the finest small churches in the country dating back to the 7th/8th century' according to E Fernie.

The year 1750 is embossed in lead on the porch doorway and services are held once every fortnight. Inside there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere of a traditional country chapel complete with a pot bellied stove. Sheep and cattle graze in the next field and dry stone walls bound a woodland fringe and hay meadows. It is a place of peace and tranquillity.</span></span></p>
