The United Benefice of Shiplake, Dunsden associates three churches in South Oxfordshire - St Peter and St Paul Shiplake, All Saints Dunsden and Saint Margaret's Harpsden - located in rural South Oxfordshire. While each has its own character and community, they are brought together by a team of clergy led by the Rector, Reverend Robert Thewsey. Services and other activities are held at each of the churches according to a schedule common to all.
All Saints Church, Dunsden serves the communities of Dunsden and Binfield Heath, with some of our congregation coming from Emmer Green, Caversham and beyond. We have a sung Holy Communion service most Sundays, but regular Benefice Services are held when we join with our sister churches either at Dunsden, Shiplake or Harpsden. Elsewhere on the website you can see when these are to take place. Visitors and newcomers are always welcome and we’d be delighted if you’d like to join us. Children are also very welcome and we have toys and books at the back of the church to occupy them during the services.
