Charles Darwin was christened as an infant at St Chad’s on 15th November 1809.

This beautiful and fascinating church is open daily for viewings and warmly welcomes visitors from 8:00AM – 04:00PM

Of particular interest is the silver christening bowl used to baptise Darwin and St Chad’s present baptismal font which is fashioned from limestone with a myriad of marine fossils set in its form.

*please note that access to some areas maybe limited during times of church services
