St Mary's Church in Chilton is a member of the Bernwode Benefice.

The Parish of Boarstall is a small and scattered one, on the county border with Oxfordshire. There has been a place of worship in Boarstall from the fourteenth century. The present building dates from around 1819, replacing an earlier structure which was largely destroyed during the Civil War.

In the absence of any other meeting point for the village, the Church is seen as being the heart of the community.

With easing of COVID restrictions we are holding one service of Holy Communion a month, according to the Book of Common Prayer.  For details, please see our website www.bernwodebenefice.com/boarstall
