Welcome to four friendly Northamptonshire Churches in the diocese of Peterborough

Our Story
Walgrave Benefice is a community of faith rooted in the love of God. For many centuries, our churches have been a place to meet God and to meet each other.
Our beliefs are deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures, life’s only guidebook. We believe worship is not just found in prayer and singing, it’s something expressed in everything we do.
Whether you have known Jesus for decades, or you are wondering whether or not there is a God, you will find in our churches a welcoming and friendly congregation. We’re always happy to see you and warmly welcome visitors.
Come and join us to experience God’s grace for yourself.
