Parish of Clopton



 

THE PARISH OF CLOPTON

 

Clopton is a very small village with a population of about 140, most of whom are retired, though there is a small number of professional and executive people. There is no shop or public house in the village, though there is a wide range of amenities in nearby Oundle and Thrapston.

 

The parish church, dedicated to St Peter, is a Victorian building erected in 1862 in place of a mediaeval church that had previously been demolished.. A major restoration of the roof is expected to take place in the summer of 2008 with grants promised from a number of sources including English Heritage and £10,000 raised locally.

 

There is a service of Holy Communion in the church on the first Sunday of each month, and a family or other special service usually on the third Sunday.
