About our parish
The congregation at St Bartholomew's Church, Wickham Bishops
From Father Stuart Batten, Priest in Charge
Welcome to our website. I hope that you find a warm welcome with us both here and in our church should you wish to come to visit us.
Wickham Bishops is a village of around 2000 people situated in a picturesque part of
Our church, built in 1850 by the Leigh family, is at the heart of village life. It replaced a much older building at the other end of the village which is now maintained by the Friends of friendless churches- and used by us once a year at Rogation time
Around sixty people, drawn from all age groups join us for worship on Sunday morning. Our worship is a mixture of modern and traditional styles. It is our aim to value each and every member of our church community and to support each other as we live out the Christian life together.
There are a number of groups and activities that take place during the week that seek to provide pastoral support, fellowship and nurture in the faith- please do check out the relevant pages on the web site if you would like to find out more.
We are very blessed to have an excellent church hall that is attached to the church and used by a number of community groups as well as for family celebrations etc..
Thank you for taking the time to browse our website. If you have any questions or enquiries please do contact one of the ministry team through the 'Meet the Team' page.
May God bless you with his Grace and Peace
Fr Stuart Batten
