St Matthew's, Wookey
St Matthew's, Wookey, St Matthew's Terrace Wookey Wells Somerset, BA5 1JR, United Kingdom

This is a group prayer walk from Wookey to Henton, where we'll be praying for key areas. We're meeting at Wookey Church to start this 2 mile walk, travelling over pavements, roads and footpaths. (Please note that some of these surfaces might be uneven.) Rogation walks are traditional countryside events, to allow people to pray for blessings on their area. We'll end the walk with tea and cakes at Henton Church, and you are very welcome to come to just this part if you'd prefer. We aim to reach Henton around 4pm.

Christ Church, Henton

Welcome to our page on A Church Near You! 

Christ Church Henton is a beautiful church in the village of Henton, near Wells. We are part of a group of 3 churches and 4 parishes, known as a benefice, which are looked after by Revd Jan Shellard-James.

There are services every Sunday, however if there is a 5th Sunday in a month, a service might take place at a different church in the benefice. There is also a weekly prayer meeting which is held every Monday. On the 1st Sunday of the month is a relaxed service over breakfast at Henton Village Hall, which is free, and very much enjoyed. You are very welcome to come to any of our services or events, and details of these can be found on this website, or on our own website www.chwchurches.co.uk There are also more details about the this church and the benefice on our website.

If you have any enquiries about baptisms, christenings, weddings, funerals or memorials please get in touch with us.

We look forward to welcoming you to our church!
