The Claydon Benefice

The Claydon Benefice became a legal entity in 2019 although the three parishes of Claydon & Barham, Henley and Great Blakenham had been co-operating together under a single Priest-in-Charge for many years, and the current Rector is Revd Tracey Caswell.

The Rectory for the Benefice is at 7 Back Lane Claydon.
