Clergy and style of worship

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Part of the Diocese of Southwark, the style of worship is unstated.[further explanation needed] The vicar equally serves the parish of South Nutfield which is across the M23 motorway, as one benefice.[1]

Building, setting and amenities

The early medieval style building was built in 1869 and designed by William Burges. Its tower of 1876 is by W. P. Manning.[2] The interior has a simple brick design, whilst the exterior is of knapped stone with a stuccoed tower over brick.[3] The church is a Grade II listed building.[4] J. Mordaunt Crook describes it as "outspoken to the point of bluntness",[2] and Nairn comments that it is "honest, but not very good".[3]

The church is bounded on three sides by dense woodland of Outwood Common. The church has a vestry for choir and clergy. The church has a small graveyard adjoining on the same, north side of the road

Outwood is a parish of the Church of England which overlaps its civil parish. This area's nearest town is Horley and has a high proportion of farms and cottages on radiating rural roads making it somewhat dispersed. The church is 0.5 miles (0.80 km) from the nucleus of the village and faces a junction with the last house of a road leading directly to the village.

The current parish was formed on 19 August 1870 from parts of five medieval parishes; Burstow, Blechingley, Horley, Horne, and Nutfield, all of which still exist as villages.[5]
