A few miles upstream of Ross-on-Wye, in the heart of the Wye Valley, this ancient church is at the centre of a rural parish on the banks of the River Wye in Herefordshire. Sellack is the only English Church dedicated to the Celtic Saint Tysilio, who lived in Wales in the 7th century. Worship is at the centre of church activities with Bible Study on the 2nd and Eucharist on 4th Sundays of the month plus celebrations for special occasions – Candlelight Carol Service, Christmas, Palm Sunday (with the rare custom of Pax Cakes), Easter, The Bridge Service, Harvest and occasionally hosting a Benefice service.
Our parish of Sellack 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 of Hereford’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 see the contact details on https://stowcaplechurches.co.uk/s-guarding/ or contact Mandy McPhee, the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, either by phone 07875757396 or by email [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
