Welcome to the Heart of England Parishes

We are a group of 6 village churches in south Warwickshire situated between Stratford upon Avon and Evesham and centred around Bidford on Avon. 

Each of our churches has services at different times and different styles of worship. You are welcome to come to any of them where we hope you will feel welcomed and at home.

Coming soon

Tuesday 9th September, 7.30-9 pm (Salford Priors Vicarage) & Tuesday 16th & 30th September, 7.30pm (St Matthew’s Church room)

The return of ‘Midweek Meet-up’ at St Matthew’s Church Room (3 further sessions in October). Exploring the basics of faith.
Every session is just 90 minutes, and at some point in the Autumn term, will revisit the Explore Course.
Contact Rev Sheila Bridge for more information.

Our People

At present we are in an interregnum, our Rector having retired, and we are in the process of finding a new incumbent for the benefice.

Our Associate Minister, who has special responsibility for Salford Priors, is Rev Sheila Bridge who lives in the Vicarage in Salford Priors.

We have one Lay Reader, Allan Steven who lives in Stratford upon Avon.

We are very fortunate to have the support of five retired clergy living in the area who are able to help taking our regular services as well as some weddings and funerals.

There is a Ministry Team at St Matthew's in Salford Priors who support Sheila Bridge with the ministry there.
