Praying for Peace Week

for 6 days, 1 hour
St James The Great
High Wych Road High Wych Sawbridgeworth, CM21 0JB, United Kingdom

As a Benefice we are offering a week of praying for peace.

Outside St James are white ribbons that you can tie onto the railings as you say a prayer for peace.

Inside the church there are some prayer stations with prayers you can say for the conflicts we are currently aware of. We also remember those who have died over the years in war.

You can also write a prayer to hang on our prayer tree.

Please pause for a moment if you can.

St Botolph's

Welcome to St Botolph’s, Eastwick!

Set within a peaceful and picturesque village, St Botolph’s carries a rich story of change and renewal. Once a magnificent medieval church—described in early records as a large and impressive building with a tower, transepts, and fine tiled flooring at the east end—it stood proudly for centuries before being replaced in the 19th century. The church you see today was built between 1872 and 1875, continuing a long tradition of worship on this historic site.

Now part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, St Botolph’s is a welcoming and active place at the heart of its community. Across our three churches, you’ll find a variety of services, events, and opportunities to come together in faith and friendship.

We’d love to see you here—visit our Services and Events pages to discover what’s coming up at St Botolph’s and across the benefice. A warm welcome awaits!
