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!
