| Willoughby with Sloothby, St Helena* |
St
Helena’s dates back to the 13th century. The octagonal font is where John Smith was
baptised in 1580; he later became famous as Captain John Smith, leader of the
Jamestown Colony in Virginia. See scenes of his life in the window
adjacent to the font. Windows in the chancel depict scenes from the Jamestown
Colony and include Pocahontas, wife of John Rolfe. In the bell tower there is
what Pevsner describes as a ‘wonderfully primeval ladder’. St Helena's is home to the Alford Group's Forest Church which meets on the 3rs Sunday of the month at 3pm.
