Glaven Valley Benefice

The Glaven Valley Benefice in the Diocese of Norwich is a group of five parishes serving the villages of Blakeney, Cley, Wiveton, Glandford and Letheringsett in the beautiful countryside of the North Norfolk Coast. Our churches are all beautiful, ancient, Grade 1 or 2 listed buildings, of national importance and lovingly cared for - they are normally all open to welcome visitors every day.

We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive community. We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is for everyone of all ages and backgrounds to receive and experience. So we offer a warm welcome to all - both residents and visitors - and we provide services to suit various styles of worship, along with many groups, activities and events. The five parishes work closely and cooperatively together, and there is a great sense of fellowship, friendship and support across the Benefice.

Come and see us soon!
