Hampsthwaite: St Thomas a Becket

A warm welcome awaits you at St Thomas a Becket church in the lovely village of Hampsthwaite. 

The vicar, Reverend Suzy McCarter can be contacted by phone on 01423 772638 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Please note her day off is Tuesday.

Services are held in Hampsthwaite on the first three Sundays of every month and on the fourth (and, where they occur, fifth) Sundays we meet with the congregations of the other three churches in our Benefice; Killinghall, Birstwith and Felliscliffe, for joint worship. The venues for these Benefice services are on a rotational basis and details can be found by clicking on the "visit page" below and going to our calendar.

There is a Sunday School for primary school age children, during term time, in the community room on 1st and 3rd Sundays when the church are celebrating Holy Communion.
