Welcoming churches across Wragby, Holton cum Beckering, Langton by Wragby, Rand, Snelland and Wickenby — in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds, on the edge of the fens.
The six parishes of the Group are located approximately ten miles north-east of Lincoln on the A158, where the flat fen lands of Lincolnshire, with their enormous skies, begin to give way to the gentle beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds. We are relatively close to the coast but primarily surrounded by arable farmland, where the passing seasons may be seen in their ever-changing beauty.
As an ecumenical church we work closely with the local Methodist Church, and with the churches in the Bardney and Woodhall Spa areas as part of the Limewoods Federation.
“We give thanks for the transforming love of God made known in Jesus.”
“We believe that we have been gathered for worship and are sent out for service and mission.”
Every church in the Group has its own centuries of history — from a Saxon site at Wragby to the birthplace of Magna Carta's Archbishop Stephen Langton. Explore each one below.
