‘in FAITH we FOLLOW + in HOPE we LIVE + in LOVE we SERVE’

Welcome to our benefice website!

The benefice of the ‘Priory Churches’, sits at the heart of the South Downs National Park and within the beautiful county of West Sussex. All three of our churches are ancient and unique with worshipping communities committed to prayer, worship and service. Our churches are open each day for quiet peace and reflection, but come alive each Sunday as the congregations gather together - you are most welcome to join us. We hope you find our website useful.

Many blessings - Rev Canon Derek Welsman

Additionally, there is Morning Prayer each weekday morning at 8.30am at St Mary’s Church, Easebourne,

except for Wednesdays when there is a midweek communion service at 10.00am

You can find our recorded services here.

Other prayer resources are available on the Church of England website.
