The Benefice of Hopton, Corton & Gunton

Hopton, Corton & Gunton are three parishes on the east cost of England in the Diocese of Norwich. We serve our local communities by sharing the love of God in the person and work of Jesus by the power of his Holy Spirit.

Full details of regular services and other events can be found on the individual church pages. When there is a 5th Sunday in the month we gather together for worship at a Benefice service at one of the churches in our group of parishes.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Safeguarding

Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer (email: [email protected] Phone: 01603 882 345). 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.
