Uttoxeter Area of Parishes

We are a benefice of 11 churches, around the market town of Uttoxeter, mostly in small rural villages. We have an Area Rector, Rev Margaret Sherwin and two Team Vicars, Rev Joe Cant and Rev Jules Walker, and are wonderfully supported by our self-supporting ministers and readers. The contact details and other information is kept up-to-date via the individual church's pages on A Church Near You. The Area Office is the central contact point, via the Benefice Administrator, Nicola Bagworth - [email protected] or tel 01889 562915 (Mon to Fri 9.00am to 12:30).

Make friends and explore the Christian faith by coming to meet us. Our churches have a regular pattern of Sunday services complying with national church guidance, along with an increasing social calendar so do make contact to find out more.
