Welcome to the Octagon Parish

The Octagon Parish is made up of eight villages with churches and two villages without churches, all thriving communities.

Blessed with wonderful walks and fine views down to the south coast, its small ancient downland churches are noted for their spiritual peace and tranquility.

There are two stately homes in the area:

Stansted House and Uppark
