St Margaret’s Village Church, nestled within the meadows, forms the geographical centre of this ancient Parish - which dates back to the 13th century over 750 years ago.

The Parish of Ifield is a case in point. Many past generations have loved and cared for it - especially its ancient church and its surrounds. Now it’s our turn.
