This 12th-century church sits in a peaceful churchyard and has seen all manner of history stroll past its timeless lych gate. The church has many more recent alterations with additions in the 17th and 18th centuries, making it a typical hotchpotch of eras.

It still operates a Sunday morning service but the beautiful graveyard is worth visiting at any time.

During 2020 the church is celebrating 900 years of worship in Westfield. Sadly the building is only open this year, on a Weds morning, due to covid. It’s best to contact Rev Joy, if you’d like to visit inside.
