The Benefice

Our United Benefice covers the three churches of St Margaret's (Wrenbury), St Michael's (Baddiley) and St Mary & St Michael's (Burleydam).

We share a Vicar and a ministry team.

Every Sunday a service is held in at least one of our Churches (please check all the calendars for details) and on one Sunday in the month we all worship together, taking it in turns to host a United Benefice service of Holy Communion.

You are most welcome to attend any of the services which range from traditional Book of Common Prayer to Family Service - we hope that during each month we have something for everyone.

St Margaret's

In the heart of Wrenbury Village our Church has a diverse congregation which is reflected in the variety of both services and social events.  

Dogs and their owners are welcome at all services and we serve coffee and biscuit (sometimes cake!) after our Sunday services.
EVERYONE is welcome to come to any of the services here.

St Margaret's is a  15th Century sandstone building with unique box pews and unusual balcony.
There's a Dog Whipper's Pew and memorials to Lord Combermere.
