The Benefice comprises four parishes in rural north Devon with five churches. We are part of the Holsworthy Deanery, of the Barnstaple Archdeaconry of the Diocese of Exeter.

We hope that the information provided in these pages will convey an impression of our churches and that you may be able to visit us if you are close by. We are sure that you will find five places of peace and great beauty with a deep sense of faith. Signs of a lively church community are all around.

You will find details of the history of each of our churches as well as details of our services. Several of the churches also have active bell ringing teams who compete locally.

Details of social events taking place and main items of news will also be found within these pages.

This month's new additions:-

A new Connected, Service details and Mission Community Bulletin for May.

The Offices tab on this page will take you to Church of England Morning prayer, Evening prayer and Compline services for today.

Shebbear Circuit are experimenting with an interactive, social networking website which is open to the whole Christian community in the area, and friends of the Circuit from further afield. You will find a link to this exciting site Here and on the links page.
