Welcome to the Glaven Valley Benefice
sharing God’s love in our communities…
Welcome to the website for the Glaven Valley Benefice in North Norfolk. We are a group of five, beautiful Anglican churches working together in the villages of Blakeney, Cley, Glandford, Letheringsett and Wiveton.
We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive community. We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is for everyone, of all ages and backgrounds, to receive and experience. So we offer a warm welcome to all – both residents and visitors – and we provide services to suit various styles of worship, along with many groups, activities and events. The five parishes work closely and cooperatively together, and there is a great sense of fellowship, friendship and support across the Benefice.
The What’s On tab will give you up-to-date listings of all our services and events.
We aim to live stream all our services at Blakeney Church on our YouTube Channel. Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, this may not happen, for which we apologise. The services that are live-streamed are then available for you to watch on another occasion.
Please Contact Us if you have any questions.
