Wellsprings Benefice

The Wellsprings Benefice consists of five rural parishes of Bulkington, Potterne, Poulshot, Seend, and Worton and Marston, set within stunning rolling Wiltshire countryside.

Our area is noted for its many springs and wells which remind us of scriptural references to the “living water” we find in Jesus Christ.

Our parishes are situated adjacent to the market town of Devizes. We are surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty mainly given over to farmland and unspoiled chalk downland which is rich in wildlife, history and archaeology.

Our five churches are served by a Team Rector, an Associate House for duty priest and a number of other clergy and licensed laity, together with the Churchwardens and Parochial Church Councils. We welcome you, whether you are a regular churchgoer, visiting friends or family in our villages or just passing through.

All of our services are open to everyone, whether or not they are a committed Christian, and all five of our churches are open every day for prayer, meditation, church crawling, or just for spending time in a beautiful space
