West Downland Benefice

Welcome

To the West Downland Benefice

ABOUT US

Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, the West Downland Benefice comprises six parishes. Each parish possesses its own unique character and heritage church, yet together they form a united and welcoming community.

Beyond the walls of each church, you will discover a vibrant and close-knit community that actively engages in various social activities and community initiatives. We take pride in our communities, fostering connections through events, services, and shared celebrations.
