Hatley – Hatley St George

Hatley St George church is a Chapel of Ease and ‘Festival church’ in the Parish of Gamlingay, which puts it one notch down from being a parish church – however, it can be used for christenings, weddings and funerals.

  • Sadly, there are no services scheduled to be held here during February and March.
