"St Sylvester's Church is a very friendly Medieval church situated in an isolated rural community. The Church is always open and everyone is welcome to one of our services or just to visit.  Chivelstone holds services please see our calendar for details.

Chivelstone Church is early 15c with a carved medieval screen and pulpit. The rood screen is unusual in having paintings of Saints in the middle section and arabesques on the outer sections, (before and after the Reformation.  Recently we have found wall paintings. Three of which have now been revealed this is very exciting, we shall endeavour to complete revealing them.

The church has recently undergone a major restoration project with help of the National Lottery grant funding as well as other fundraising further details can be found under the News and notices section."
