All Saints' Church, Chevington

About Us

All Saints’ church, a Grade 1 listed building, is situated on the edge of the village against the boundary of the National Trust’s Ickworth Park. The church building is open throughout the week for the wider community to enjoy as a place of reflection and peace.

We are an open friendly, welcoming congregation with a good atmosphere at services and strong fellowship. We seek to be a parish church for all, to promote the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England and continue to evolve as a community whilst responding to the needs of the parish and the wider world.

· We provide pastoral care within the parish ranging from home communions to a weekly Community Coffee Club in the village hall, and to promote the inclusion of teenagers/young adults and developing additional channels to engage further with our local community.

All Saints’ maintains a liberal catholic tradition, with a weekly Sunday Eucharist Service (Common Worship). Other services are held on weekdays and festivals with the occasional Taize-style service during the year. We enjoy a strong music tradition with Sung Eucharist accompanied either by our resident organist or our own consort of musicians and ad hoc choir.

Chedburgh, All Saints

All Saints’ Church is a compact building able to hold 70 members of our congregation. It is positioned along the A143 midway between Bury St. Edmunds and Haverhill. Events are held during the year to raise monies for the payment of the Parish Share and contributions to the Fabric Fund. We are indebted to the patronage of the Villagers and those from the surrounding areas at these events.

St Mary the Virgin, Depden

Welcome to St Mary’s Church, Depden.

Our little medieval church is hidden in the woods, half a mile from the road and only accessible by foot - though that might be about to change (watch this space!). Local people have worshiped in this place for hundreds of years. It is a place of retreat, refuge, tranquillity and peace and is much loved.

We are working to ensure that the church remains at the centre of our village community providing fellowship, friendship, care and support. Everyone is welcome wherever you are on your journey with Christ; firm believers, doubters and those not sure are all welcome.

We would love to welcome you to one of our community events. Check out the news and events on this page.

Join us and let the love in.

Hawkedon, St Mary

Clearly visible from all directions and said to be the only church in the centre of a village green, this mediaeval Grade 1 listed building contains many interesting features and artworks and includes a fine, restored, organ. The church is physically central in the village and the aim is to make the Church spiritually central to the Hawkedon community as well.

Here is a prayer for this special month

A prayer of Richard of Chichester

Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you

for all the benefits that you have won for us,

for all the pains and insults that you have borne for us.

Most merciful redeemer,

friend and brother,

may we know you more clearly,

love you more dearly,

and follow you more nearly,

day by day. Amen.

Isolation in a rural village like Hargrave is hidden. We have no pub or shop, most people in work go to work elsewhere, children go to different schools and there is no means of getting about if you can’t drive. How do you meet your neighbours? How do you make friends with others in the village? Supporting the church and the events we arrange bring us together, whether we have faith or none.

Our faith serves with love bringing Hargrave together around this modest, but 1,000-year-old, church of St Edmund
