St John the Baptist
High Toynton is a unique and special village, recognized as one of the 'doubly thankful' communities in the United Kingdom. This term is used to denote the rare and fortunate circumstances where all the men from a particular place who served in both World Wars returned home safely. Out of the thousands of churches spread across the UK, only 14 can claim this honor, and High Toynton is proudly one of them. This remarkable fact is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the men from this village, who faced the horrors of war and emerged unscathed, returning to their homes and loved ones. It's a distinction that sets High Toynton apart and adds a significant chapter to its rich history.
