All Saints Newton on Ouse
We are delighted that Reverend Lucy Brencher has been licensed as Priest-in-Charge of the Benefice of Alne and of the Benefice of Skelton with Shipton and Newton-on-Ouse.
Bishop John says of Lucy’s appointment: ‘Lucy has considerable experience of rural mission and ministry having served her title in Rural Ainsty and latterly been leading the parishes of Acaster Malbis, Appleton Roebuck and Acaster Selby alongside ministry in the Copmanthorpe Group in which she has developed services and community events to engage local people, especially the young. She also served the Tadcaster Benefice during their last vacancy. I am confident that with God’s grace this will be a great adventure for the parishes of West Galtres.’
Revd Lucy says of her appointment: ‘I will be delighted to be the new Priest in charge of the West Galtres churches. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone, worshipping together and discerning ways to grow."

St Giles' Church
St Giles, Skelton, is one of the best preserved and beautiful thirteenth century churches of England located in the older part of the village. We are a small, friendly rural church looking to grow in numbers, in faith and in generosity, so we can share God's love within Skelton. We now have a new digital organ a kitchenette and we plan soon to install a toilet. You are warmly invited to come and belong to St Giles' Church!
On Sundays starting at 09:30 we have a mix of traditional communion services, with excellent organ music and flute and all age family worship, which we hope to adapt and so engage more people. From January we will be sharing a Benefice Service with Shipton and Newton once a month too.
St Giles is open daily for personal prayer and a space to be still
We love to connect with our community - working with the school when asked as we offer class visits in church, curriculum enrichment in lessons and doing assemblies for key festivals. We also facilitate a space to catch up with friends and make new ones at Mandy's Café in the village hall which happens the first Friday of each month. Do come along and enjoy refreshments and light lunches from 10.30am.
