Willoughby with Sloothby, St Helena

Willoughby with Sloothby, St Helena*

St Helena’s dates back to the 14th century; in the bell tower there is what Pevsner describes as ‘a wonderfully primeval ladder’. The octagonal font is where John Smith was baptized in 1580. He later became famous as Captain John Smith, a leader of the Jamestown Colony in Virginia. The chancel windows depict scenes from the Jamestown Colony and include Pocahontas, wife of John Rolfe. St Helena’s is a member of ‘Caring for God’s Acre’ and is also home to the Alford Group’s Forest Church and a service will be held at 3pm on Sunday 15th September
