This magnificent church was buit as a chapel of ease when Dunstable Priory became too small to hold the congregation. St Giles has a fine Tudor ceiling and today boasts modern glass: the east window was designed by John Piper, the artist who designed the glass in Coventry Cathedral.
St Giles is part of the United Benefice of Totternhoe, Stanbridge and Tilsworth, known as the TST Benefice. The TST Benefice is part of the North Chilterns Group of parishes, comprising the Kensworth, Studham and Whipsnade parishes, and the parishes of Eaton Bray with Edelsborough and Dagnall.
Our normal Sunday services are at 11am.
Where there is a 5th Sunday in a month we meet with the other two churches in the TST Benefice to share a joint service.
