Holy Trinity Coleman's Hatch enables Anglican Christians to worship and strengthen their faith through traditional services using the rich and beautiful language in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (BCP).

Holy Trinity Church stands on high ground and is clearly visible from all approaches. It has been fittingly described as "a cathedral in the country". Its size and capacity (with pews seating 330) are out of proportion in relation to the hamlet that it serves. It is an architectural gem, built in local sandstone to a very high standard and with an unusually spacious interior.

The Church is located in the small hamlet of Colemans Hatch, on a sharp bend on the north side of the B2110, almost equidistant between the villages of Forest Row and Hartfield, and some 2 miles from each. A minor road opposite the Church leads to the Hatch Inn (1/4 mile) and across the forest to the Ashdown Park Hotel and Ashdown Forest Visitor Centre (both 2 ½ miles) and Wych Cross (3 miles).

The parish of Coleman's Hatch (population around 700) is a quintessentially rural idyll comprising a scattering of farms, houses and cottages on the Northern fringes of the Ashdown Forest, an area of outstanding natural beauty. ‘Hatch' is a name for a gate or entrance to the forest. The Church can be seen as the centre of the hamlet as there are no shops and the only other features are the Hatch Inn and a phone box.

"Our Vision is to build a dynamic, vibrant church sharing Christ's love with people of all ages in our 21st Century rural community."

Hartfield is increasingly family focused, but also has many people that welcome more traditional forms of worship. We are building a lively, outward looking Christian community reflecting all age groups and are prepared to face the challenges of Christian mission in the 21st century. In particular, we aim to be at the heart of the village community of Hartfield.

We are building from the bottom through outreach to young families having recognized the need to create a much more balanced Christian family, if there is to be a vibrant Christian community at the heart of village life in Hartfield.

We are therefore evolving our worship to be family centred and easily accessible to those new to Christ. We also reach out to the wider village community through activities such as the annual Live Nativity through the village.

Our service pattern is designed so that there is a Communion service every Sunday at either 8.00 am or 9.30 am. It is also designed to be complementary to the service pattern of our sister church of Holy Trinity, Coleman's Hatch.

Of particular importance to us, is actively support the village primary school, which is situated next to the church.

Please note that we have a variety of services each week. Please also take a look at our services at Holy Trinity, Coleman's Hatch. We look forward to welcoming you at any of our services.

School Services

A school service takes place most weeks during term, usually on a Wednesday at 2.45 pm. It is attended by all pupils and staff. Parents, grandparents, friends and members of the congregation are also welcome to join in. Children are collected from the church rather than from school when there is a service.

In addition, there are special school services such as harvest, end of term.
