Service at Sandham Dedicated by the Bishop of Guildford in March 1927, Sandham is a working chapel. There have always been services on Remembrance or Armistice Day and we are now pleased to hold additional services. Services are led by former Army Chaplain, Reverend Mark Christian and link to themes of the chapel. The chapel is quite small so please book to ensure you get a space.
