Records Loss
It is said to have been Säkylä's chapel since the time the first church was built (around 1590), later joined as Huittinen's chapel. Säkylä is mentioned as the parent parish in 1392 and Huittinen in 1414, so Vampula may have belonged to Huittinen as early as the end of the 16th century. Separated into its own parent church in 1891.
