Christian worship has been offered in this place since Saxon times.
the fabric and furnishings of this marvellous grade 1 listed
building bear witness to the faith, love and care which has been
lavished by the people of Elmstead market over many generations.
Although records show that there has been a priest here since 1194
and the remains of a 12th century brick and stone arch in the north
door has been exposed, we know that the main part of the present
building dates from the early 14th century. The gallery was added
in the 18th century and around the walls inside the church there
are some biblical texts, rarely seen nowadays dating from the 17th
century. The texts and the gallery were restored in 1999. Box pews
were add relatively recently, in the 19th century, and have been
progressively adapted and reduced in number ever since. To mark the
millennium, an Icon depicting St Anne with the Virgin Mary,
commissioned specially for the church, was installed in the Lady
Chapel along with a picket stand as a aid to prayer. Church Micro
