Amotherby: St Helen
Our benefice is currently in a vacancy. Please contact the church wardens for enquiries or visit our website for more information. Our website calendar will be updated with our upcoming services.
During this period of vacancy we are being very well supported by other members of the Retired Clergy and Laity who regularly hold services for us across the Street Parishes Benefice. This has enabled us to hold a weekly Eucharist and continue with family services across the whole area.
We continue to be able to offer Weddings and Baptism.
Funeral and Memorial Services.
Please contact the Churchwardens for further information
St Helens Church is open daily from 9.00am - 4.00 pm

St Helens Church is in urgent need of restoration. To this end we are holding a number of fundraising events locally, and making applications for Grants to help fund our restoration project. We are trying to raise £40,000 to be able to carry out the first stage of restoration work. It is very important to us to be able to retain our church which is an integral part of our village heritage. If you would like to make a donation please contact us at [email protected] when we will be pleased to give you further information. Thank you.
