The five churches
Each keeps its own churchyard, its own bells and its own way of doing things.
How the rota works
Five churches share one ministry team, so the services move around. On most Sundays two or three of the five are open, and which two changes with the week of the month.
On a fifth Sunday — four times a year — there is one service for the whole benefice and the other churches are closed. That is the one worth checking before you set off, and it is why the table above is generated rather than typed.
The 8am said Communion at St Mary's is the exception: it runs every Sunday of the year, fifth Sundays included.
