We are five parishes (pop. 3200) who are used to working together through a Benefice Council and Ministry Team.  

The Team comprises St Mary’s Linton and four other village churches set in pleasant countryside south of Cambridge.

The Bishop of Chichester is seeking a priest-in-charge of this rural benefice, situated in a scenic part of East Sussex near to the towns of Battle and Hastings. We have recently combined into a single parish (ER 83) and are actively engaged with the life of our villages. Worship, in the broadly central tradition of the Church of England, takes place in both churches each Sunday.  

The parishes of Hope and Shelve situated in the glorious Shropshire Hills serve a collection of growing villages with much new life and energy.

The Diocese of Hereford is committed to growing Christian communities this is an exciting opportunity to support The Bishop of Hereford.
