The building you see, from the 16th century, was already mentioned in the Domesday Book. It's a manor house that has been extended and restored. This house held significant land properties.

Located not far from Whepstead's other church, St Petronilla, the chapel of this Baptist church was built in 1844. The building is grade II listed.

Apart from the building itself, this small church draws attention mainly for its name, St. Petronilla, being the only one in England dedicated to this saint. Although the building dates from the 13th century, over the centuries it has undergone adaptations.

In this corner, we can observe the village sign of Whepstead. Santa Petronila stands out at the top, as the Whepstead church is the only one in England dedicated to her.

If you pay attention, you'll notice an unusual Victorian postbox with its hinged letterbox on one side of the road.
