The Woodhall Spa and Bain Valley Group of Churches

We are two groups of churches working together as one, serving a diverse community across Woodhall Spa, the Bain Valley and the surrounding villages.

Each of our churches has its own special character and is well worth a visit. Some are open every day, while others have more restricted opening times. Please see the individual church pages for further details, including who to contact if you would like to arrange a visit.

The Bain Valley churches are: St Michael’s, Coningsby; Holy Trinity Collegiate Church, 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.

If you have recently moved into the area, or would simply like to get to know our churches and communities better, this website is a good place to start. You can find out more about who we are, what we offer, and how to get involved.

We hope you will find a church community where you feel welcome and at home. If you have any questions, please get in touch with our Priest in Charge, the Revd Sally Clifton.

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.
