Set where the Weald meets the South Downs, you will find the beautiful, recently joined parish of All Saints' Laughton, St. John the Baptist, Ripe and St. Bartholomew, Chalvington.

Some people come to the churches to worship, some enjoy a secular but still spiritual connection with these ancient buildings, whilst others are fascinated by the beauty and rich history of the parish and its churches. 

They encourage anybody to join who might want to explore the Christian faith or simply be looking to be part of the community. Everyone is welcome to the events which are organised and to join being the current custodians of these historic buildings.

They are currently without a permanent rector and in the process of advertising the position for a new incumbent, but are extremely pleased to welcome many different priests who have kindly volunteered to conduct services each week for us. The church buildings are open for a visit and contemplation every day.
