Welcome to Pentney Church. Christians have been worshipping in this place for over a thousand years.

The church was once owned by the friars of nearby Pentney Priory. This might account for its amazing decor - the delicate Norman arches on the inside walls could surely only be produced by a skilled stonemason. Look out for the traces of ancient wall-paintings, the crucifixion scene over the altar (containing people from the 19th century) and the jolly little gargoyles and statues inside and out.     

Although the friars have been gone for five hundred years, the church remains. It stands next to the Village Hall, still serving its local community. Do come along. We look forward to welcoming you.

Pentney Church is part of the Nar Valley Benefice.
