The Woodhall Spa and Bain Valley Group of Churches

We are two groups of churches working together to become one, and we serve a diverse community. Each of our churches have their own special character and are worth a visit. Some of them are open all the time and others have restricted opening. Please see the individual church pages to further details about who to contact about this.

The Bain Valley churches are: St. Michael's Coningsby, Holy Trinity Collegiate Tattershall, St. Mary's Kirkby on Bain and St. Margaret's Roughton.

The Woodhall Spa churches are: St. Peter's Woodhall Spa, St. Leonard's Kirkstead, St. Margaret's Langton, St. Peter's Stixwould, St. Margaret's Bucknall and All Saints' Horsington.

Safeguarding

Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However even in very happy families, people can have a bad day and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want to help everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that's happening or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at Safeguarding. This means they look after everyone's safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.

Our Parish Safeguarding Officer for the Woodhall Spa group of churches is Margaret Forman who is available to contact via 07931 574498, or email [email protected].
