Visitors from all over the world, as the entries to the visitors’ book indicate, come to Snape's Grade II❋-listed 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.

 

There are not Services every Sunday at Snape, but
Holy Communion is celebrated somewhere within the Benefice —
please see the current rota of locations and times here.
They are also listed in the Benefice's "Ebb & Flow" monthly magazine, and
on the noticeboard outside all our Churches (which are listed here).

Morning Prayer is said in Snape Church each Friday at 9:00 am.

All are most welcome at our Services.
