About Us

St Thomas à Becket Church has strong links with Hampsthwaite C of E Primary School. The school uses the church for special services at Easter and Harvest and also to perform their Nativity play and many parents and relatives attend these services.

There is a Benefice choir with a regular group of enthusiastic junior and adult members with additional singers drawn from the villages joining for special occasions.

The parish of Hampsthwaite with Felliscliffe Chapel of Ease and Killinghall together with the parish of Birstwith form the joint Benefice. 

We hope you find what you are looking for on these pages and we would be delighted to welcome you, either as a visitor or to join us regularly in worship and fellowship.
