Welcome to the new (and evolving!) website for the parishes of Mereworth, Wateringbury and West Peckham. We are three parishes grouped together as a benefice. Each church has it’s own style and feel but you will find a warm and friendly welcome at any of our church services. We hope you will join us!
Do use our website to find out more about us and feel free to get in touch if you don’t find what you’re looking for in these pages.
