St Margaret the Queen is a 13th-century church nestled in the scenic expanse of Buxted Park. This historic church is part of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Buxted & Hadlow Down within the Diocese of Chichester. It offers a middle-of-the-road Anglican style of worship, utilising both the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship for its services, which include 8:00 am and weekday communions, mattins, evensong, and Parish Eucharist.
The church is open daily to visitors from 9:00 am until dusk, providing a tranquil space for reflection and worship amidst the beauty of its surroundings. St Margaret the Queen also plays a pivotal role in the local community, maintaining strong ties with Buxted Church of England Primary School. The school engages with the church for various services throughout the year, including Easter, harvest festivals, and Christmas celebrations.
Additionally, the church is supported by The Friends of St Margaret the Queen, a charitable organisation focused on the restoration and preservation of this beautiful heritage site. This group warmly welcomes new members who are interested in supporting the church’s legacy and community activities.
