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.

The Bible Course is an eight-session course (created by The Bible Society) helping you explore the BIG story of the Bible.
Whether you’re well versed in Scripture or new to the Bible, The Bible Course offers a superb overview of the world’s best-selling book. The course will increase your confidence, equip you to read the Bible better and help you to see its relevance to daily life. Over eight interactive sessions, it combines video teaching, group discussion, personal reflection and daily readings.
We will be meeting together as a benefice to do The Bible Course on Thursday evenings, 7:30pm, at All Hallows Walkington – starting Thursday 26th September.

The handbook to accompany the course costs £6. Let Tim (07539429945 [email protected]) know if you would like him to order you a copy ahead of the 26th September.
