Whepstead Church St Petronilla&#039;s church is somewhat tucked away down a lane leading off the main road and shrouded in trees. The dedication is unique in England although there is no reference to it before 1883. Little is known about Petronilla but she is thought to have been an early Roman martyr who refused to marry a pagan. There are some Norman remains in the building but more of the work is 13th century and the tower dates from the 14th. It is said that there was once a lead covered spire that blew down in 1658 on the night of Oliver Cromwell&#039;s death but there are no contemporary records to confirm this. There was a restoration in 1869 and a rather more sympathetic one in 1926 when many of the Victorian changes were reversed. The church is now part of the Horringer benefice that also includes the parishes of Brockley and Westley.

Whepstead Baptist Church Located on Rectory Road in Mickley Green, within Whepstead parish but some distance from the Anglican parish church, this chapel was built in 1844. It was recorded in the 1851 Census of Religious Worship that the Sunday congregation was 155 (attending three services) which compares with 310 attending the parish church. At the time the village population was 652; it is hard to imagine such figures now. The building is grade II listed.
