The patronage of this church takes us far back to the beginnings of Christianity in the third/fourth century. Saint HELEN was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel/Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. She is therefore often depicted in paintings or as a statue with a cross as an attribute. The feast day of Saint Helena in the calendar of saints is August 18th.

HISTORY OF RAF STENIGOT WORLD WAR TWO CHAIN HOME STATION The RAF base at this site had existed since the 1930’s, and was originally part of Britain’s communication network to detect incoming German bombers during World War Two. The base was originally a “Chain Home Station”; providing early warnings to Sheffield, Nottingham and the central Midlands on incoming enemy aircraft. This advanced system was the first early warning radar network in the world. This radar system watched the coastline of Britannia, detecting and tracking incoming aircraft from Germany. By the end of the war there were over forty stations included in the Chain Home Network. The radar station was pivotal during the crucial Battle of Britain. COLD WAR ACE HIGH COMMUNICATION RELAY STATION After the Second World War, RAF Stenigot continued to operate and played a part in the Cold War. This time the site was part of the “ACE High” radio communication system. The radar dishes were added at this time. They flanked a relay station which was added inside the base compound. Two dishes faced north, to pass signals towards the next relay station in Northumberland. The southern dishes sent information to Kent, the nearest southern relay in the network.
