Welcome to the Benefice
We are a group of Anglican churches – Highley, Billingsley, Glazeley and Deuxhill and Chelmarsh, located in Shropshire. Together we make up the Severn Valley Benefice which is part of the Bridgnorth Deanery within the Diocese of Hereford.
Our church family spans all ages, from young babies to our older members who bless us with their wide life experiences.
No-one is excluded and all are welcomed with warmth and openness.

CHRISTENINGS
During a christening your child will be baptised with water. It’s the start of an amazing journey of faith for your child and a special day for all your friends and family. Explore all that a christening means, not just on the day but long afterwards.
WEDDINGS
Getting married is one of the most serious decisions we make in life. As well as being a big commitment, it has an impact on family, friends and the whole of society. Read more about why marriage matters, and ways to help you grow and stay together.
FUNERALS
The message at all Church of England funerals, wherever they happen, is one of hope. Although there is sadness because someone you know and love has died, in every Church of England funeral there will also be a message of hope in life after death.
