We are a friendly, welcoming community of faithful people committed to sharing God's inclusive love and growing God's church in our parish.
The many features of our wonderful building--such as a magnificent William Morris window, a well preserved Pre-Reformation Painted Rood Screen, a splendid Side Chapel with painted Reredos--enhance the holiness of this special place set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside.
