All Saints Wickham Market

All Saints is a welcoming friendly village church near the centre of Wickham Market

Our benefice has two churches, only a mile or so apart, both with bells which can often be heard on Sunday mornings before services as well as on practice evenings and special occasions. The two churches work closely together, with a shared team leadership for worship, prayer meetings, benefice choir and home groups.

All Saints Church in Wickham Market is very close to the village centre. It is family friendly with a small special area should children need it, movable seating, a screen and sound system (which allows us to share a live stream of our main service) and with a more contemporary style of worship

St. Peter & St. Paul Church in Pettistree is also a friendly, welcoming church with a more traditional style of worship. Details of their services will be included on this web site.

Both churches draw people in Wickham Market, Pettistree and other surrounding villages, welcome visitors, those just wondering about faith and those seeking information on the events in life that may lead to a baptism, thanksgiving, wedding, or funeral service.

We are delighted that The Revd Charlotte Wallington has joined us as vicar
