The building of this ancient church was started in 1106 probably by St. Anselm, who owned the nearby Slindon 'Palace'. Archbishop Langton (a signatory of the Magna Carta) died there in 1228.
Holy Communion (both B.C.P and C.W.) is celebrated two or three times a week. There is a Family Service, Common Worship, Prayer Book Matins and Evensong (monthly) and a thriving Children's Church on the 4th Sunday of the month. A Youth Group has been started with great success.

St Richard’s Church
The church of St Richard’s was built in the 1865 and stands at the top of the village opposite Slindon College. It serves the Roman Catholic parish of Bognor Regis with Barnham and Slindon.
The church was designed by C.A. Butler and built by Robert Bushby of Littlehampton following a bequest by the Earl of Newburgh. There is a stained glass window to the memory of the Countess of Newburgh above the high alter. Although the Church is only 150 years old, the catholic mission in Slindon dates from the Reformation.
Mass is celebrated every Sunday at 9.00 a.m.
