Church Services and Activities in our Parish
Aymestrey is part of the Mortimer’s Cross Benefice, a group of three rural parishes within the Diocese of Hereford (Church of England). Our service and activities are enabled by volunteers from the church council (PCC), clergy and lay ministers. Some services and events are shared with our neighbouring churches in Kingsland and Eardisland, while others remain rooted in our local communities of Aymestrey, Leinthall Earles and Wigmore.
Welcome. Find details of upcoming services, events, and activities across our parish churches. We warmly invite you to join us.
