Welcome to our Benefice
Thank you for visiting our achurchnearyou pages. We hope the information you find here will encourage you to visit our churches for our services of worship or just to enjoy the tranquillity, peace and beauty of these historic places.
The Benefice comprises the three Anglican churches of Holy Trinity Blendworth, St Michael and All Angels Chalton and St Hubert’s, Idsworth in the Diocese of Portsmouth. In normal times they are usually open every day from 9am until 4pm in the winter months and until 6pm during the summer.
For more information, see the individual pages for each church, or visit the Benefice website: www.bcichurches.org.uk
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 Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Portsmouth’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 Advisor [www.portsmouth.anglican.org/safeguarding/].
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.
