PLEASE USE THE LINKS TO THE LEFT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT US

The parish is in the Benefice of St Mary Alderley and St Catherine Birtles and is located in the beautiful countryside of east Cheshire and despite a small resident population, the church has a good attendance which has shown signs of growth in recent years.
Services are along traditional lines but not too formal and we hope that visitors find us friendly and welcoming – and we all like a good sing!
Tea, coffee and soft drinks are served in church after the main services.
