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.
Please Contact Us if you have any questions.

NEWS!
The Great Glaven Rake Off!
After a successful raking at Wiveton Church last weekend, this Saturday 5th October we are at Cley Church from 10am-2pm.
Everyone is welcome. The more the merrier, and many hands make light work! Bring rakes, gloves and forks if you can (though not essential). We will rake up the recently cut long grass, to enable the wild flower meadow to flourish in the spring.
Refreshments and simple lunch provided – free beer, soft drinks, bread, cheese, etc.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re unsure of the forecast. Call or text Shannan on 07908-251288 or email
[email protected] if you have any queries.
The following Saturday, 12th October, we go to Letheringsett
(on Blakeney Road going north on the left opposite River House) from 10am.
Again, everyone is welcome. If you’ve got strimmers, rakes, forks, barrows, buckets and gloves do bring them along.
Light refreshments will be provided and bring your own packed lunch.
Please contact John Pridmore 01263 687809 or email [email protected] for more information.
