We are continuing to practise caution during church services but are not insisting on social distancing at the present time. If you wish to sit socially distanced during services, please just speak to us on arrival.
Alec and the PCC thank you for your co-operation in this matter.
Welcome to our website – through it we hope you will learn more about the church and perhaps visit it one day. The church is open every day of the year, and from comments in our visitor books we know how important this is, together with the peace and tranquillity of this ancient but living building in the heart of the parish. And it is precisely this openness that is at the heart of our faith as Christians, and which should be reflected in our buildings, our worship and our welcome of all who come through the door or via the Internet.
Great Budworth is a large rural parish, made up of a number of distinct communities, and the church tries to reach out to all within our parish. Physically the church dominates the village of Great Budworth itself, and many visitors are drawn by its imposing architecture and impressive history, but it is our hope and prayer that all who visit our church, regardless of their initial purpose, may find something of God’s love and peace within its walls.
May God’s blessing be always with you.
The Reverend Alec Brown, Vicar
