Welcome to the Bansfield Benefice Website

We hope you enjoy your visit to the Bansfield Benefice's website. The site, hopefully, is both a point of reference for people interested in Christ's teachings as well as for those who would like to know more about the seven churches of the Benefice, two of which feature in Simon Jenkins' book "England's thousand best churches". If you are a new visitor to our site please take a moment to read our message of welcome.

Church services

We are always delighted to have you visit our churches and join us for a service at any of our seven historic churches. Please click on Services for the current rota and for future months.

About this site

The website layout is simple, on the left are links about the Benefice itself and below that each of the seven parish churches within the Benefice. Eventually this site aims to give as complete as possible information about each church. At the top of the page are other links which we feel may be of general interest to you. Here you will find information about church services in the Benefice, our News letters and events occurring throughout the Benefice. The church is closely allied to the Wickhambrook Primary Academy which over the years was attended by many of our younger members. There is a site search for information retrieval. Also why not connect with us on Facebook.

Quote / thought for the day

God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. S. John. 3.16.

Benefice Church of the day - Thursday

Saint Peter's Ousden: Welcome to this ancient church, which was built by the Normans over 800 years ago. Christian worship has been offered here ever since, by generations of Ousden folk of varying traditions, who have at different times altered, enlarged and beautified the building, as the need arose.
