Welcome! We are one parish with three distinct worshipping communities. Though frequently working together, each has its distinctive character and serves a particular area of the parish, but you are welcome to worship wherever you feel most at home. We are a parish big enough to count, with churches small enough to care.
If you can’t find what you want, even via the search page or our blog (magazine), please contact us.
Thank you to everyone who gave donations to BHA at our recent weekend collections . We had a fantastic response this time, from many members and organisations within our Town, and we collected more items than we could be load into one van; hence a return collection is being organised to fetch the additional items.
