Repton is the cradle of Christianity in the Midlands.   Christians have worshipped on this site since 653 AD, when Elfleda, the new bride of Paeda, son of King Penda of Mercia, introduced Christianity to his father's kingdom at Repton.   But although we cherish our past, we are looking to the future.   In April 2009 we launched an appeal to fund our Heritage development; fundraising continues, but the work has now been completed.

We welcome you to our web-site and invite you to share your worship with us at St Wystan's Church.

Repton crypt, dating from the first half of the 8th century, is of exceptional interest.   Constructed perhaps as a baptistery, later a royal mausoleum, then a place of pilgrimage to St Wystan, it is one of the oldest and most important examples of Anglo-Saxon architecture to survive intact.   Sir John Betjeman described it as "holy air encased in stone".

Do explore the website.   As well as describing us and our beliefs, there are descriptions of the church and its history.  The site index, links below and links tables provide easy shortcuts.
