A former Congregational chapel in Grove Road served as Burgess Hill's Roman Catholic church until St Wilfrid's was built by a local firm in 1940. Frank Brangwyn provided the Stations of the Cross and Joseph Cribb, a pupil of Eric Gill, carved the statue of Saint Wilfrid above the entrance.[1][2]

It is part of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.

It is associated with St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School.
