Ride+Stride

for 8 hours
Saturday 9 September 2023
The Shropshire Historic Churches Trust ‘Ride+Stride’ takes place on Saturday 9th September 2023. It’s an Open Church day when most of our churches will be open, often with light refreshments, ready for visitors from elsewhere in our Benefice and from further afield.
The aim is that some of the visitors will be sponsored to travel to churches near and far – some by walking, some on bikes, some by car (especially if raining or in need of a knee operation or just generally getting older and want to spend more time visiting and less time traveling).
Those taking part from our 9 churches will be seeking sponsors during the next few weeks, so please do support them.

Consider if YOU could be sponsored to walk, drive or ride to some churches – maybe in the Town Centre, maybe in a distant part of Shropshire you’ve never seen before…

Half the money collected is for the participant's church, and the other half goes to the Trust which supports Shropshire churches with grants for essential work and useful improvements.

Hyssington: St Etheldreda

Welcome to St Etheldreda's and to it's beautiful rural setting near Hyssington in the hills of the Welsh Borders.

We are part of the OnnyCamlad Benefice, a group of 9 churches within the Diocese of Hereford. 

Our church is open everyday for you to come and have some quiet time and we welcome visitors to all of our services.

Across the Benefice there are a range of services every Sunday so if we haven't got a service here at St Etheldreda's there will be one close by.

If you want to find out more or wish to enquire about a wedding or baptism then please contact our Benefice Administrator by email at [email protected] or leave a message at the number listed below.

The parish of Hyssington is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our safeguarding officer, Mrs Sue Cooke. The Diocese of Hereford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
