Benefice of Lyneham and Woodhill

Our Benefice consists of six Church of England churches (five parishes) in North Wiltshire in the Diocese of Salisbury. Most of the parishes are rural with the biggest being Lyneham with Bradenstoke which also includes the REME base at Lyneham although they also have their own chaplains.

There is one church school in the Benefice, at Broad Town, and we have bells in two of our churches, Hilmarton and Lyneham.

We are currently in vacancy and are being assisted by a chaplain of a local school, Rev'd Jonathan Beach, a curate, Rev'd Richard Holness, an LLM and two LWLs as well as the help of some local retired priests. 

We hope to see you soon at one of our services or events.
