Welcome to our Benefice
The Shrivenham & Ashbury Benefice is situated in the Vale Of White Horse, 8 miles east of Swindon and 25 miles west of Oxford, and consists of four parishes within the Dorchester Archdeaconry in the Diocese of Oxford.
Our churches are all different, with modern, traditional, and non-traditional services found in the regular pattern of worship, but all are united in wishing to mirror the hospitality of God to those we meet.
The following churches are open daily for private prayer: St Andrew Shrivenham, St Thomas Watchfield, St James Bourton, St Mary the Virgin Ashbury, and St Swithun Compton Beauchamp. St Mary the Virgin Longcot is open on Sundays and Wednesdays until dusk.
Please do not come into church if you think you may have Covid symptoms.
Our regular online services continue, please download the Newsletter for full details. Download a guide to watching services on Facebook.
If you, or someone you know, would like a home visit (to receive Holy Communion for example), need to talk or ask for specific prayers, please do get in touch.
