We are a rural community of seven villages in the very north-west corner of the Chelmsford Diocese in the deanery of Saffron Walden.  The parish is close to Cambridge, sitting between the medieval market towns of Saffron Walden and Royston, with villages in both Essex and Cambridgeshire. And our villages lie at the very centre of the Icknield Way, the oldest track in Britain and which dates from Neolithic times. In 2010, we were able to celebrate an incredible 1,000 years of worship in our parish! Take a moment to see a recap of our busy and diverse activities over the last year.

Our church is a transforming group of people, at the heart of the communities where we live and serve. Listen to Bishop Stephen Cottrell talking about this and his vision for the future direction of the Chelmsford Diocese.
