The Parish Church of St Michael & All Angels, Church Broughton

Welcome to The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, Church Broughton. The church which gives our village its name is a beautiful listed building dating in part from around 1100 (including our font). It was much extended and rebuilt in the 14th century, probably around the time that Black Death devastated England, and lightly renovated in the 19th century. In the heart of our village, it sits peacefully in its large churchyard, with lovely views to the rear. The churchyard is full of flowers in spring and early summer and contains war graves.

Revd Edward Whittaker is Parish Priest for our church, along with other members of the Appletree Churches grouping in the parishes of Boylestone, Hatton and Hilton with Marston-on-Dove.

Services at Church Broughton can be found here and local events can be found on the Church Broughton Village website: www.churchbroughton.com

The church is open for private prayer at any time.

Come away to a quiet place by yourselves and rest awhile (Mark 6:31)
