Burrough Green - Brinkley - Carlton - Dullingham - Stetchworth - Westley Waterless
Welcome to our group of wonderful historic Church of England churches which, although ancient, are very much alive! Our aim is to be an open, welcoming and inclusive Christian community where each person is welcomed and valued and we can share together in God’s love, worship and service.
Please do join us whenever you can, at whichever church you would like to. You will see we have a variety of services on offer throughout the month and special services of healing and remembrance - follow this link to find the current month of services.
At certain times of the year, we also have Christian enquiry courses which can lead to Confirmation if desired. Do come and take a step on the wonderful path of discovery!
Announcement:
We are delighted that Bishop Dagmar, the Acting Bishop of Ely has announced that The Revd Virginia Moggridge, currently Assistant Curate in training, Burwell with Reach Benefice, is to be Rector of our group of Parishes. Bishop Dagmar will institute Virginia on 3 February 2026 - more details to follow.
Virginia was ordained in June 2023 after a long career in law (apparently that explains the grey hair - Virginia's words!), and served her curacy first in Burwell with Reach, and then latterly in the 5 churches of the Three Rivers group near her home in Snailwell. Along with her husband Peter and their Labradors, Virginia is very much looking forward to joining the Raddesley benefice, and getting to know the churches, the people, and the communities. We extend a warm welcome to Virginia and Peter (and the labs which no doubt many of you will meet) and we look forward to her joining us in February. In the meantime, she is taking the Christmas Day Service at Stetchworth where all are welcome to say hello in advance of her formal introduction.

In Memory of Rev Nikki Mann
We still hold Nikki and her family in our prayers since she passed away so suddenly in March 2021. This link is to a page where people left their thoughts, memories and messages of condolence. Other messages that were left in our Churches have now been bound into a book and passed to Nikki's family.
