About Us
Welcome to the Parish of East Donyland: The Old Church of East Donyland was taken down in 1838 when the new Church of St Lawrence was built in the river side community of Rowhedge by William Mason of Ipswich to imitate the Chapter House at York Minster and is a fine liturgical setting.
Set in the heart of a vibrant community we welcome people of all ages, all church backgrounds or none, and especially those thinking about the Christian faith for the first time for prayer and quiet reflection and good liturgy.
The parish of East Donyland (or Rowhedge) is, along with the parishes of Fingringhoe, and Abberton with Langenhoe, a constitute par of the Donyland Benefice within the Witham Deanery of the Diocese of Chelmsford
Regular services are held every Sunday and Wednesday, with details posted each month on A Church Near You.
