The Twin Brooks Group benefice is a group of 8 semi-rural and rural churches located south of Hereford, roughly covering the area between: Belmont Abbey, Swainshill, BT Madley, and Wormbridge.
As part of Deanery Reorganisation, it has been proposed by the Joint Council that the 5 parishes of the Cagebrook Group (Allensmore, Clehonger, Eaton Bishop, Kingstone, and Thruxton) would join with Kilpeck, St Devereux, and Wormbridge to form a new Benefice of 8 churches called 'Twin Brooks'.
Although the legal side of this reorganisation will take some time, it was agreed that we would begin collaborating as an expanded group from March 2025.
