Step into the stillness of Christmas Eve and experience the wonder of Midnight Mass—a timeless, candlelit service that welcomes the birth of Christ with reverence, joy, and hope. As the clock strikes twelve, we gather in worship to mark the beginning of Christmas Day with carols, communion, and the message of Emmanuel: God with us.
Whether you're seeking tradition, reflection, or simply a moment of peace, this beautiful service offers a space to pause, pray, and rejoice in the true meaning of Christmas.

Come and celebrate the light that shines in the darkness.

Burgh, St Botolph

Burgh’s parish church is dedicated to St Botolph, the missionary monk. There has been a church on the site for over a thousand years. Items of note are the massive iron boss with a Sanctuary Ring attached to the inner south door.  Just inside the south door is an octagonal Font dating from c1400. Facing the door is a painting of the Birds of the Bible by Anna Zinkeisen. The stained glass was designed and made by Charles Kempe. Some of the carved timberwork, including the angels, date from the early 16th century. The church is open daily and provides a place for quiet contemplation. Visitors at 9.30 am on the third Sunday of the month will receive a friendly welcome.
