United Benefice of Aspenden, Buntingford and Westmill

We are three welcoming and inclusive churches set in the lovely countryside of East Hertfordshire, two in the small villages of Aspenden and Westmill, and one in the small but growing market town of Buntingford.

Each of our churches has its own tradition, worship pattern and events throughout the month. Alongside this, we have Benefice Together services especially at Christmas and Easter. 

Each of our churches has its own ACNY page.

Service of Memories

for 1 hour
St Mary the Virgin
Flint Cottages Westmill Buntingford, SG9 9LN, United Kingdom

"We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world–the company of those who have known suffering." (Helen Keller)
Save the date if you would like to join us for this reflective service as we remember those we love but see no longer. We will light candles in their memory and there will be hymns and prayers. The venue will be confirmed later in the year.
