The Four Towers Benefice (Walkington, Bishop Burton, Rowley and Skidby)

Welcome to the Four Towers Benefice! The benefice consists of the village churches of All Hallows Walkington, All Saints Bishop Burton, St. Peter’s Rowley (serving the village of Little Weighton) and St. Michael’s Skidby. We are situated in the Beverley deanery, just north-west of Hull and in the Diocese of York.

Our villages are rooted in farming and have grown and changed as our context has changed. We are rural but close to a large town and a city, so attract commuters to these as well as to Leeds and other places along the M62 corridor. There are people of all ages in each village community.

Through scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion, we will journey through Christ’s self-giving love, ending in the solemn stripping of the altar as we prepare for Good Friday. This deeply moving service invites you to reflect, remember, and draw close to the heart of the Easter story. All are welcome.
