St Mary and St Peter has been the church for Winford since the 1500s, though inside you can see the 'beautification' done in the 1800s. Do look up to admire our roof decoration and the cherubs! We serve the village for weddings, baptisms and funerals, special services, and have strong connections with Winford School.
The church is partway through restoration of the walls. Phase 1 is complete; the old plaster has been removed and new plaster applied, and we are now waiting for the walls to dry enough to be able to apply the top coat and repaint. We hope this will take place in late 2024 or early 2025.
Our Parish 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’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 contact the PSO via the button or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Ben Goodhind on 01749 588917. 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.
