Welcome to our A Church Near You pages. We're currently constructing a dedicated website for the church so for now there will be information on both platforms with links back and forth.
You are welcome to join us for worship. We usually have worship in the Benefice on Sundays at 9.30am & 11.00am and on Wednesdays we worship alongside our Methodist brothers and sisters. Please check below for the venue and service type.
Wells Restoration
On July 3rd 2023 the 13 month delayed restoration project at St Nicholas Wells commenced. Some areas of the churchyard are cordoned off but there is access to the Chancel daily for quiet prayer and Sunday worship continues as normal in the Chancel.
We are delighted that Rev Canon Malcolm Rogers is settling in as Priest in Charge of the Burnhams Benefice. We have reverted to listing just our own services. To see what's happening at the Burnhams click here: https://www.burnhamsbenefice.org.uk/home
