St Giles Church

St Giles, the parish church of Graffham with Woolavington, has been welcoming worshippers to services for more than a thousand years.

While elements of this beautiful, historic and peaceful building date back to Saxon and Norman times, much of the structure was substantially renovated in 1875 as a memorial to Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, village squire and son of the legendary campaigner against the slave trade William Wilberforce.

Today, with its tower of six bells ringing out over our fields, woods, hills and homes, St Giles is a focus for our vibrant village.  It offers services every Sunday, along with baptisms, weddings and funerals – and, of course, Christmas and Easter celebrations and Remembrance observances.

Graffham is rare today as a standalone rural parish with its own priest, with the church offering a varied programme of activities including ‘messy church’, coffee mornings, teas and Harvest suppers.
