Vision and Values

Interim Priest in Charge at North-West Swindon and Lydiard Millicent

This is a 0.5, three days a week including Sunday duties at North-West Swindon and Lydiard Millicent. North-West Swindon and Lydiard Millicent is a single church benefice of about 3000 people, of whom about half live in the village and half on the outskirts of Swindon.

Priest in Charge - Lidbrook Benefice

The Lidbrook Benefice is a group of three parishes midway between Chippenham and the historic city of Bath. The villages of Box, Colerne, and Ditteridge each have their unique character and sense of community and the churches that serve them have been on a journey of growing together in mission whilst recognising their unique gifts and contributions.
