Peak Five

Welcome to the Peak Five Benefice.

In the beautiful Derbyshire Peak Park, five villages form the Peak Five Benefice. St Mary's in Tissington, St Leonard's in Thorpe, St Michael and all Angels in Alsop en le dale, St Peters in Parwich and St Edmund's in Fenny Bentley. All the churches are open for private prayer all day, every day, unless there is a funeral or wedding. 

The Churches of Peak Five welcome all to worship, irrespective of age or faith commitments. There are normally at least two services every Sunday somewhere within our benefice including a communion service at 11:15. Click on the calendar of any church to see all the services in the Benefice with dates.

All are welcome in these ancient spaces where people have prayed for centuries, take a slow walk round the church or simply sit for a while.
