The Fellows of Corpus Christi College Oxford, the Fellows of the Queen’s College Oxford and the Diocesan Board of Patronage wish to appoint a Rector for the Ridgeway Benefice.

In glorious open country in the heart of England, the Culworth Benefice embraces three villages and one hamlet with a population of around 1600. The parishes work well together and support each other. South Northamptonshire is one of England’s little known treasures and is markedly rural, with ancient villages in addition to market towns. The villages are warm and hospitable places. People view the Rector and the Church as essential parts of the fabric of life.

We pray for a priest who will bring about the changes that are needed to reinvigorate the two churches within the parish. This will require a practical, creative and empathetic thinker who can discern and develop the gifts that lie within the two congregations to help us strengthen links with our community.

We seek a Priest to work with us in the mission of every parish in our ‘family of churches’ and to help us grow in faith.
