St Saviour

We're a friendly, down-to-earth Church of England community spread across two beautiful old churches — St Saviour's in Ringley and Holy Trinity in Prestolee. St Saviour's has been part of the fabric of this area since 1625; Holy Trinity has served the village of Prestolee since 1862.

Whether you've never set foot in a church before, or you're looking to reconnect after a long time away, you'll find a genuine welcome here. No need to dress up, know the words, or have everything figured out.

Our Rector, Fr Stephen, and the whole parish community would love to meet you.
