Welcome to St Bartholomew Church Orford, the historic spiritual and musical heart of the community of Orford. Details of all church services and other events can be found under the 'services and events' tab on the left hand column. We form part of the Wilford Benefice of 18 churches on the Wilford Peninsula on the Suffolk coast.
More details of other Churches in the Benefice can be found under the '18 churches of the Wilford Benefice' tab on the left hand column.
The church is open daily to visitors and St Nicholas Chapel is set aside as a quiet area for private prayer and contemplation.
