The church is a typical Victorian church with nice stained glass in the windows that is of
various ages. The wood panelling is said to have come from Newgate Prison in London as a
gift from the Cunliffe family of Headley Court. The choir screen is in memory of Theodore
Evelyn Reece Phillips the rector of Headley until 1941 who was a very famous amateur
astronomer and President of The Royal Astronomical Society. Headley's bells are not rung by
a team of bell ringers but can be rung by one person from the choir vestry using a rope pull
and hammer system. Modern lighting and sound systems are in place to cater for the entire
congregation during services.
The Church is positioned high on the North Downs and the spire is visible from much of
London, along with
Ranmore Church on the other side of the Mole Gap the churches are known as the North Downs
Twin Spires.
Services are held every Sunday, precise details are available in the Parish
Magazine or the link at the top of this page. For information on special services and
weddings etc contact the Rector.
The majority of the old church records are lodged with the
Surrey History Service at Woking.
