About Us

Welcome to the Parishes of Abberton with Langenhoe, St Andrew’s, Abberton, is fine Church in a lovely setting overlooking the Abberton Reservoir. St Mary’s Langenhoe which had been damaged in the Essex earthquake of 1884, was closed to worship in 1955 and demolished in 1963 after it was deemed structurally unsafe.

Abberton with Langenhoe, along with the parishes of Fingringhoe with East Donyland (or Rowhedge) constitute the Donyland Benefice within the Witham Deanery of the Diocese of Chelmsford

Set overlooking the Abberton Reservoir we welcome people of all ages, all church backgrounds or none, and especially those thinking about the Christian faith for the first time for prayer and quiet reflection and good liturgy.

 Services are held every Sunday, with details posted each month on A Church Near You.
