Eltham Parish Church - St John the Baptist

Visit every Xmas Eve for midnight mass. Lovely atmosphere friendly congregation present. Nice place to look around. Have bell practice every Tuesday . Lovely sound.

Grade II Listed late 19th.Century Kentish ragstone church very much an exemplar of contemporary style, taste and aspirations.
This preeminent local building and largely extant walled graveyard still dominate the local topography.
An active community here.

Heard the Rutter Requiem there wonderful performance!

The church bells, OVER HALF AN HOUR what a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE NOISE!!!!! I’m starting to feel like I’m being tortured! What a stupid idea, people want to relax on Sunday have some peace and quiet this so inconsiderate! I get 5-10mins but this is way too much.

The bell practice is just overwhelming. Happening way too often (approx every 5 days), for 2 hours, between 7pm - 9pm. Every time. A church is supposed to be safeguarding the community, instead this particular one is simply torture. Quite disappointed, given that you should look at it for hope and peace, not incessant bell tolling.

Lovely old church, very welcoming atmosphere.

Lucky enough to have have attended a wedding there very pretty inside.
I always attend the remembrance day parade.

I went to visit the graveyard. Lovely atmospheric place, long grass, lots of butterflies and wild flowers. However, some areas need urgent attention, with even the two war graves I found about to be claimed by the weeds.
