About Us

Hopesay Parochial Church Council maintains the church and churchyard, and contributes to community life by arranging services and events which involve people across this rural parish community with a population of 572 (2021 census). 

Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament.  The PCC ensures that worship services take place every Sunday, except when there is a combined service at another church in the Clun Valley Benefice. A rota of parishioners keep the church open each day and others ensure that the church is decorated with a steady supply of fresh flowers. 

The PCC maintains the church and services at the church to provide a focal point for Christian worship in the parish of Hopesay, and to keep our historic building, and grounds available for current and future generations to enjoy. 

The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016, fully recognising its duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The parish’s safeguarding officer is shared with other churches in the Clun Valley benefice. Each year the PCC reviews and adopts the benefice Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy.
