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. The parish of Box also include the care of Rudloe on the outskirts of Corsham which includes an area of social housing.

The Benefice is praying that their new Priest in Charge will help them develop and live out their vision for these largely rural communities and will build on their work to engage with schools and families in particular. Please do download and read the parish profile to find out more.

If you have any questions, please contact Revd Adam Beaumont, Associate Archdeacon, at adam.beaumont@bristoldiocese.org to arrange a call.
