About Us

Located in the small village of Witton, The church is small but atmospheric lending its self to candle light services.

We are part of the Bittern Group.

We are always pleased to hear from you if you are looking to plan a Baptism (Christening) , Wedding, Blessing after a Civil Marriage or Civil Partnership or a Thanksgiving for Marriage service.

On the sad occasion of a bereavement please ask your funeral director to contact us if you would like to hold a service in the church or at the graveside. For a service at the crematorium or woodland burial site also ask the funeral director to contact us. For the burial of ashes please get in touch direct and for headstones contact a stonemason who will then contact us.

Open and welcoming to all.

Safeguarding
