We are a parish of five churches in the Vale of Evesham between the towns of Evesham and Pershore. Worship is central to our life - we hope you will join us.
Many couples choose each year to get married in one of our churches. If you are planning to marry and would like a Christian marriage service we shall be pleased to hear from you. Please contact the Parish Administrator. For general information about a Church wedding please refer to the Weddings page. If you would like to speak to us about a Baptism please see the Baptisms page.
We have two Church of England schools in the parish; Cropthorne with Charlton C of E First School and Fladbury
C of E First School. We enjoy and value the worship and work we share with each school.
We hope to welcome you in person at a Church service or event soon and that you will feel welcome to visit our churches at other times too, to enjoy a time of quiet, explore the history, light a candle and say a prayer.
