We are seeking an incumbent for this united benefice of two parishes in a beautiful part of rural Cheshire, with a total population of around 4,000. There are three churches (St Oswald Malpas, St John Threapwood and Holy Trinity Bickerton). The parishes are of central tradition. There are strong community links and several schools, including a church school. A good modern rectory is provided.

St Mary Stoke, with a venerable history, is bursting with opportunity and life. We are praying for a Rector to be with us and part of Inspiring Ipswich; living the Resurrection hope in this ‘central’ and inclusive parish.

The neighbouring Benefices of Briningham and Briston – situated in lovely North Norfolk – have agreed to merge.

St Matthew’s Church, Northampton is looking to appoint an Organist and Director of Music to progress our well-known musical tradition.
