About

St John the Evangelist, Dormansland is an Anglican church located in the heart of Dormansland village.

We are situated in Surrey, but our location is right on the cusp of Kent and West Sussex. We are a part of the United Benefice of Lingfield & Dormansland. Our church is a welcoming community that offers a range of services and events for all ages. We believe in creating a loving and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at home. Come and join us for worship and experience the warmth of our church family.

The church is sited at the junction of the High Street and The Platt near the south end of the village of Dormansland. It was built in 1882 as a chapel of ease to Lingfield but became a parish very soon after.

It was designed by Arthur Blomfield, not one of his best, and originally comprised a nave, chancel, north aisle, and north and south transepts. A vestry was added at the northeast corner in 1889 and the south aisle, tower (ground storey only) and a small room at the west end in 1914. This was converted for use as a chapel in 1972 and became St Andrew’s Chapel; furniture designed by David Nye. At the same time an assembly room, known as the Centenary Room, was built on the north side together with a kitchen and lavatories, designed by Adrian Gale.

Ian, our Vicar, is happy to meet and chat about any aspect of church, faith or indeed life. He is also happy to chat and work with anyone who wants to work for the good of our community as a whole and already has good links with the Lingfield and Dormansland Community Centre, The Victoria Sports and Social Club and the Lingfield Chamber of Commerce. Please see the contact page for his details.

For any other enquiries, please contact the Church Parish Office, open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, 2.30pm to 5.30pm.
