The Church belongs to the Worldwide Anglican Communion of Churches.
It is in the Diocese of St Albans and the Welwyn Hatfield Deanery.
The building dates from 1881 and was originally part of Lord Salisbury’s estate centred around Hatfield House. However as Welwyn Garden City expanded in the 1940’s, ‘50’s, & 60’s so the small hamlet of Hatfield Hyde was incorporated into it. It now serves a large parish numbering over 25,000, with new house building underway.
Today the church is a thriving Christian community, united in the worship of God, and reaching out to serve our local community. Do read more about us by navigating through the site – and do come and join us!
