St Mary the Virgin
Our five churches have recently joined together to form a new benefice, The Little Stour Benefice.
We are five churches, each with a unique identity and each serving the community in which it is situated. Our worship includes a range of styles from sung Parish Communions to quiet said communion services, from BCP Evensong or Matins to more informal and family-friendly Family Praise.
We seek to work together to show the love of God to those around and to offer a welcome to all.
