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.

The Vicar and Parochial Church Council are seeking to appoint an Associate Vicar who will contribute in creative and imaginative ways to the ministry of St Mary’s.

We are a single parish, single church benefice in the pretty market town of Ellesmere with its natural meres, wildlife & nearby canal network. We are seeking a priest who will take inspiration & spiritual strength from this idyllic setting to provide us with positive & enthusiastic leadership to enable us to grow our congregation and engage with our community.

  Are searching and praying for a new vicar to lead us in fulfilling our vision of ‘Growing in the Love of Jesus’.
