About Us
St John the Evangelist, Twinstead, is temporarily closed following advice from our structural engineer. Prolonged dry weather during summer 2025 has caused existing cracks in the building to worsen, making the church unsafe to use at present.You are very welcome to join us at services across the benefice.
The parish of Twinstead: St John the Evangelist is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
