Owston: St Andrew
Welcome to our Parish Church which sits within the small village of Owston and lies 5 miles west of Oakham. The church of St Andrew, Owston, began as an Augustinian monastic foundation before 1161, and substantial buildings stood around the site of the current church. Owston Abbey was dissolved at the reformation. The parish retained a part of the Abbey Church for its use when the rest was demolished, resulting in an unusually proportioned building, with its doorway through the tower on the south side.
We are one of the grouping of 5 churches that form the Whatborough Parishes Benefice located to the east of Leicester, close to the border of Leicestershire with the small county of Rutland.

Knossington: St Peter's
St Peter's Church sits in the heart of the small rural village of Knossington, within the Whatborough Benefice. Dating back to the 12th century, it was re-ordered in the mid 19th century by the Duncan family of the next door Knossington Grange and refurbished with pews, stained glass and decorative wooden panelling. The PCC are now actively progressing a 21st century re-ordering to ensure the longevity and accessibility of the building and making it a joint place of worship and Community hub for the village and it's visitors. Fundraising events will be posted on this website as they arise so please take a look at our events page. Regular services take place on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.
