The Church Of St. Peter & St. Paul - Kimpton, Hertfordshire is a Grade 1 listed building. The church was built in the 13th century, although it wasn't until the 15th century that the tower, spire and two storey porch were added.
The flint-built church is in the unusual transitional style between Norman and Early English. The Dacre Chapel has a fine Perpendicular screen, and the remains of early wall paintings in the chancel show St Christopher and the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy. The belfry contains a peal of eight bells, the oldest having been cast c.1390. For a more detailed history of the church see the leaflet inside.
The cache was been placed with the kind permission of the Kimpton PCC. The church is open to the public everyday.
