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!

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.
