Visitors from all over the world, as the entries to the visitors’ book indicate, come to Snape Church. They and those who follow them, whether local residents or holidaymakers, are most welcome whether they come to services or merely to enjoy the calm and peace of their surroundings.

People have found peace in this Church for eight centuries — and you can read about its history here. We hope that you feel refreshed by the serenity it offers. It is open every day for private prayer, and for visitors, during daylight hours.
