Our Benefice is just west of Stafford and the four churches cover several rural villages. Farming is the main local activity but there are also significant numbers of commuters who work in the surrounding towns and cities. All our churches are within a 3 mile radius from the rectory, which is in Haughton, the largest village.

St Nicolas is a lively, thriving parish church on the outskirts of Reading. We are eucharistically-centred whilst embracing a wide range of churchmanship including several fresh expressions of church.
