Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website and you will be warmly welcomed in all our churches. 

 

All the churches in the benefice are open throughout every day for visits or private prayer. 

 

Please see our Services page for the times of weekly Sunday services. 

 

Please get in touch if you need prayerful or other practical support at any time. 

 

We welcome enquiries for baptisms, weddings and funerals and please get in touch with any member of our ministry team:

Rev David Johnson, Rector (half-time), , 07341 655530

or in person at The Rectory in Broadmayne

Rev Anthony Bush, Priest (retired),

Mrs Jenny Bagnall, Licensed Lay Minister, 01305 854950.  

 

For baptisms and weddings you can also contact the Benefice Secretary,

Julia Denham,  

 

The individual parish pages Broadmayne, Holworth, Owermoigne, Warmwell, and West Knighton, follow with some more on our congregations and their churches.  All have wildlife churchyards and most have a connection with Thomas Hardy. You can find out where the churches are there.

 

Our churches exist for the villages we serve and we would encourage you to consider what you might be able to offer in terms of time, skills or money to keep these wonderful ancient places of prayer and pilgrimage at the heart of our communities for generations to come.  West Knighton has a donate button on their page on this site and please do get in touch with us if you would like to offer regular or other donations to help any of our churches. 

 

Our Parish Safeguarding Policy can be viewed here

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all evermore.

Amen.
