St Michael Church Bradden

St Lawrence Church, Towcester

Towcester is a growing market town with a population of 11,500 growing to 20,000 with new housing. It has lots of local amenities and the high street has a high number of places to eat. The town is served by three primary schools (all 2 class entry) and a popular secondary school that is oversubscribed every year.

St Lawrence Church has a service every Sunday at 9:15am where you will find a warm welcome from the congregation. If 9:15am is too early for you don't worry as there is always a weekly 11:15am service at one of the other services in the benefice.

As benefice we are very active across our communities every day, with weekly Tots Groups, leading Collective Worship in our Primary School, supporting wellbeing in the local secondary school (Sponne School) based in Towcester, services and visiting at local residential and nursing homes, and as part of Churches Together in Towcester supporting the work of the Foodbank and Renew Wellbeing Cafe. There are many other areas of community life in which the church plays it part and we have strong links with local groups and organisations to name but a few: Royal British Legion, the Towcester Choral Society, Midsumer Music and Towcester Studio Band.

We have a Children and Families Leader who works across the benefice leading seasonal family focused events. During the week her main focus is split between the parishes of Greens Norton and Towcester. These are interactive and creative sessions where we encourage the whole family to take part and engage and reflect on faith for them and what spirituality means for them.

We have a benefice we have a small but dedicated Mother Union who alternate their meetings between Towcester and Greens Norton.

St Mary the Virgin, Easton Neston

Easton Neston contains only one house which was built by William Fermor, (1st Baron Leominster) in the 17th century and until 2005 remained owned by Fermor-Hesketh descendants. The village of Hulcote and the Shires housing estate are part of the Ecclesiastical parish boundary although from a Civic parish boundary perspective the Shires housing estate is part of Towcester parish. Therefore as a benefice we have a Bishop's Order in place which means people within the parishes of Towcester and Easton Neston can be married at either parish church.

St Mary's is access via Hulcote Village and through the security gate. The gate is open for those wishing to attend services, and access to the churchyard outside of these times can be arranged on request by contacting the Benefice Office on 01327 350459.

St Mary's has a monthly Saturday 6pm Communion Services and other seasonal services. You will find a warm welcome from the congregation. Highlights of the year are the Easter Eve Service and Christmas Services (details of which can be found via our website, weekly mailing and Facebook page).

Once or twice a year we organise specific events for children and their families. These include our Easter Day Easter Egg Hunt and our early December magical Christingle Service.
