The parish church is tucked away on the outskirts of the community on the Framingham Earl to Yelverton road. It is a small, picturesque building and is becoming an increaingly popular choice for weddings. Sunday morning services are predominantly Eucharistic (Common Worship) and take place on the first three Sundays of each month at 8am or 11.15am. There is a faithful congregation of mostly retired people with attendances averaging 16 for a normal service but this quickly rises to 40+ for the major festival occasions, and to 70-80 for the annual Christmas concert.
