St Luke's Church, Sheen
Though the congregation Sunday-by-Sunday is small, it is swelled by people from a wide area for important services. The congregation seek to be hospitable to all, and so, realising that there isn't a cafe in the village, have made tea and coffee making facilities available in the newly-refurbished kitchen in the room under the tower.
The bell tower has a full peal of bells, and a regular team of ringers who meet to practice during the week and to ring for services when possible.
St Luke's is an ancient foundation, but the present building dates from Victorian times, when the church, school room, teachers house, and vicarage were all built around a pleasent little square.
