The Chirbury Hills Group of Parishes

Our benefice is made up of the three "Chirbury Churches" - parishes formed from the ancient parish of Chirbury (Chirbury, Marton-in-Chirbury, and Middleton-in-Chirbury with Corndon Marsh), along with the parish of Trelystan with Leighton, formed from part of the ancient parish of Worthen. Our six churches serve an area from Corndon Hill to the River Severn, across the Long Mountain and straddling the border - so three of our churches are in England, and three in Wales.

We are currently in a period of vacancy but please contact Rev Greg Smith, the Rural Dean on the details provided.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO [Mrs Kay Yeates] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [Carl Steventon, contactable on 07593817717]. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services."
