The Burgh and Wainfleet Groups of Churches (Previously Wainfleet)
We are locally known as 'The Society Parishes' as far as naming our Local Mission Partnership goes. We are, in the main, an Anglo Catholic Group of churches using modern Western Rites. We receive episcopal care from the Bishop of Richborough.
We are made up of CE churches in Burgh, Welton le Marsh, Orby, Gunby, Irby, Bratoft, S Mary Wainfleet, All Saints Wainfleet, Croft, and Thorpe St Peter. A legal process to make Burgh and Wainfleet one group of churches is currently going through and should be completed in 2024.
Please contact Fr Aiden Edwards (01754 450815) the Priest in Charge concerning arrangements for Baptism, Banns, Confession (Reconciliation), Funerals, Anointing the sick and the Dying (Last Rites). Mass times across the group are published on the week sheet which we call ‘The Messenger’ which is on our church notice boards, social media and this website under 'News and Notices'.
Come and join us for beautiful and reverent worship. We make no secret of our Anglo-Catholic tradition. We also make no secret of God’s love for you!
