Do contact us - or come along to one of our services - we'd love to meet you.

Suckley Church is open every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday (and daily in school holidays) from 10am to 5pm. Please come and enjoy the peace and stillness. Our welcome table is the beautifully restored old funeral bier, where you will find interesting information, leaflets and hand sanitiser.

St Kenelm's

Welcome to the St Kenelm's, Clifton upon Teme page. St Kenelm's is within the Worcestershire West Rural Team. Our Team Vicar is Revd Anne Potter and her details can be found below.

St Kenelm's is an ancient church in Clifton Parish where we look to uphold traditional values whilst appreciating that services need to change to accommodate new styles of worship.

A look at the services on offer throughout the year illustrates what we hope is a good cross section of services.

Being a rural church we realise the importance of marking the farming seasons and also celebrate, along with Harvest Festival, Rogationtide and Plough Sunday.

The family is very important to the church. Children are welcome to all services and there are always activity sheets for children as well as a special communion book. However, some services are more 'child-friendly' and relaxed than others.
