We are a Methodist and Anglican Ecumenical Partnership. Our parish covers the adjacent villages of North and South Wheatley. We use the church of St Peter and St Paul, which stands at the top of Church Hill in the highest part of North Wheatley. In addition, we have responsibility for the ruins of St Helen's Church in South Wheatley and the graveyard in which they stand.
We used to use the Wesleyan Chapel on Low Street North Wheatley in addition to St Peter and St Paul’s, but the increasing cost of maintaining two places of worship, particularly in view in the steep increase in energy costs in 2022, we decided, after much reflection and soul-searching, to close the Chapel. It was very hard decision to close a much-loved building which had been home to many joyous events, both worship and social. The last service was held in the Chapel on Sunday 29 January 2023. The Chapel was sold in an online auction on 20 September 2023.
The Church in Wheatley is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults.
Ensuring that children, young people and vulnerable adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life.
