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 have one priest, Rev'd Canon Rachma Abbott who is assisted by a chaplain of a local school, Rev'd Jonathan Beach, a curate, Rev'd Richard Holness, an LLM and two LWLs.
We hope to see you soon at one of our services or events.
"Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
