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.

Safeguarding

Our Parish 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). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO Peter Chew ([email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor ([email protected]). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
