As the local Church of England Parish Church, we seek to worship God and make Jesus known, helping Christians to grow in knowledge and love of God and lead Christ-like lives. We aim to serve both the people of this parish and those from further afield who choose to join us, whether it be for one of our services or for another Church event. Offering mainly traditional Anglican services of worship, we also provide less formal services in Church and on Zoom for younger families and those who prefer that.
We are situated in the beautiful High Weald, right on the edge of the historic Ashdown Forest: A.A. Milne’s Hundred Acre Wood is in the Parish although Winnie-the-Pooh spent most of his time in the neighbouring parish of Hartfield where the author lived. We are only three miles from the Kent border and five miles from Crowborough. The southern part of the Parish is part of the historic Buckhurst Estate, home of the Sackville family since 1200.
Blessed with the beautiful, Grade One listed, St. Michael and All Angels Church, Withyham together with early Twentieth Century All Saints Church, Blackham, we form part of the Rotherfield Deanery. Rotherfield Deanery stretches from Coleman’s Hatch in the West to Flimwell in East, including Crowborough and this sits within the Diocese of Chichester which covers almost all of Sussex, both East and West.
A warm welcome awaits from James Campbell, the Rector, along with his wife Mary and our friendly congregation.
Withyham Church is normally open every day from 9.00am – 7.00pm with parking available on site.
