United Benefice of Aspenden, Buntingford and Westmill

We are three welcoming and inclusive churches set in the lovely countryside of East Hertfordshire, two in the small villages of Aspenden and Westmill, and one in the small but growing market town of Buntingford.

Each of our churches has its own tradition, worship pattern and events throughout the month. Alongside this, we have Benefice Together services especially at Christmas and Easter. 

Each of our churches has its own ACNY page.
