St Katherine's Church Chiselhampton

St Katherine's church will be open for this joint Heritage Open Day/Ride 'n' Stride event. This delightful church is outstanding for the completeness and beauty of its Georgian furnishings and arrangement.

John Betjeman honoured it in verse in 1952 and made a personal appeal for funds to support it. It is a striking, stuccoed building with curious classical details and a clock turret resembling those on stable blocks of the period. Inside it is lit through clear glass in round-headed south windows and, apart from an earlier pulpit, the woodwork, including the altar-piece, box pews and gallery, is all contemporary.

Light refreshments will be available by donation. Free tours will be available from 1 to 4pm provided by a descendant of Charles Peers who rebuilt the church in the 1760s. Come and visit this delightful church and hear from the locals who support it.
