Welcome To the Benefice of Witney
Our six churches
We are six Church of England churches serving the town of Witney and the surrounding villages.
Our churches are varied in size, setting and character, but we share a commitment to inclusive and hospitable Christianity, rooted in the Eucharist and the rhythm of prayer. We seek to be outward looking, showing God’s love through our worship, welcome and service to others.
Each church has its own distinctive life and community. Explore their individual pages to find service times, locations and more about what you can expect when you visit.
Our churches: St Mary’s · Holy Trinity · St John, Hailey · St John, Curbridge · Windrush Church · St Kenelm’s
