The Barton Benefice

Everyone is very welcome at our services and events.  The  Barton Benefice is made up of five parishes (six churches), sharing one Rector, so services rotate around the Benefice during the month. Please see below for details of the upcoming services, or click on the Services & Events Tab for later services.
