Welcome to the St John the Baptist, Bransford page.  Together with St Edburga's, Leigh it serves the Leigh and Bransford parish within the Worcestershire West Rural Team.  The vicar for the parish is the Reverend Anne Potter and her details can be found below.

The chapel in Bransford is a small, quaint Norman building which has changed little since it was built, and is lit only by candlelight. Before COVID it held a monthly traditional service of Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer.Opening of Church Buildings for Private Prayer.
