St Margaret's Benefice

Links...

We are always looking at ways to connect with our community, be it our church community or wider village community.  To help bring people together, we have collected links to information, organisations and local societies that you might find useful.

  •  St Margaret's Parish Council is where local democracy and representation begins.  Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month from 6.45pm in the Channel Room of St Margaret's Village Hall.  Their website has a whole host of useful information and contacts at local, District and County level, so there is no point repeating them here, just hop on to their website.
  • St Margaret's Village Hall is the main venue for village activities and events.  On their website you'll find details of all the clubs and organisations that hold regular meetings there, and details of how to hire various parts of the venue.
  • Parish News is the monthly magazine for the four parishes of the Benefice.  The editor is Jacky and she accepts submissions (Word,/pdf/jpg) via email on stmparishmag@gmail.com or as hard copies via the drop box in St Margaret's Church porch.
