Welcome!

Welcome to our beautiful ancient church of St John the Baptist, Cottered. We are currently in a vacancy, as our Rector of the past 10 years recently retired and we are now looking for a new incumbent. In the meantime, it is business as usual, with simple Parish Communion services held on the 1st and 4th Sundays in the month, and a relaxed non-communion Village Worship service on the 2nd Sunday of the month. All services start at 11am, and we always offer refreshments afterwards. If you require any further information, please contact our Churchwarden (please see the "Get In Touch" section). We look forward to welcoming you soon!
