Welcome to our benefice web site. In the photograph above you see our Rector, Rev’d David Ridgeway, at the celebration following his Induction Service on Sunday 29th November 2015. The service took place in our largest church, at Castor, dedicated to St. Kyneburgha, a Saxon princess, who in the seventh century founded a convent where the church now stands, among the ruins of what is thought to have been the second largest Roman building in Britain. The present church is Norman, and has some rare and beautiful carving on the tower. It was dedicated in 1124. The main benefice Holy Communion service is held here every Sunday at 10.15am.
The recently announced government restrictions state that churches must only be open for private prayer and small funeral services. Sadly, for the present time, our regular Sunday services will have to cease. The churches at Marholm and Sutton will open from 9am until 10am and the church in Castor from 9am until 12 noon each Sunday for private prayer only. These arrangements will remain in force until further notice.
You may also view our weekly reflection and message from Fr David via our YouTube Channel and Fr Ray will continue to hold Evening Prayer via Zoom each Sunday at 6pm.
