St Sampson's features in Simon Jenkins's book England's Thousand Best Churches, in which it is described as "warm and welcoming".[1] The poet John Betjeman remarked that its pews were "extremely uncomfortable, recall the fidgets of Gus and Flora in Ravenshoe".[2] It is open every day of the year, holds services every Sunday and evening prayer every Thursday evening at 6 o’clock. Its choir sings every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.
