About Us

We are a group of four parish churches in the Church of England who share the same Rector. A group like ours is called a benefice.

Our benefice stretches from East Clevedon w Clapton-in-Gordano (All Saints with St Michael’s), up to Walton, Clevedon (St Mary) and along the road to Portishead taking in the villages of Walton in Gordano (St Paul), Weston in Gordano (St Peter & St Paul) and Clapton in Gordano (St Michael’s). We sit at the northern most part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells in Somerset.

We offer a “modern catholic” ministry in the Church of England – inclusive, liturgically sensitive, thoughtful and prayerful. Our oldest church was built in 1226 and the youngest in 1860 and for all these generations we have tried to live and tell the good news of God made known in Christ. All of our churches are places of considerable beauty and sanctuary.

All the parishes are independent in that they are parishes in their own right, but we all share an Incumbent (currently The Rev’d Prebendary Noel Hector) a parish office, a parish magazine and united benefice occasions and services. The magazine and website will have details of what’s happening in the weeks and months ahead.

The Eaat Clevedon Benefice Office is at All Saints Lane, Clevedon, BS21 6AU – 01275 873257 – and is next door to The Rectory. The office is open on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9.00am - 1.00pm but you can phone or email at any time and we try to respond to enquiries either immediately or within the day.
