Welcome to the Parish of Alveston

There are 3 Churches in the Parish of Alveston:

The photographs on the left are those of the respective Churches plus the Tiddington Community Centre.

The Vicar of the parish is the Reverend Canon Richard Williams who has been our priest since July 1995 and can be contacted by email at rickthevic@gmail.com.

For details of each Church and the Services at each please clink on their photo or on their names above.

The forth picture is of the Tiddington Community Centre (TCC) which is on a 35-year lease from the Church and is run for the benefit of the local community and is the normal location for Church Social activities.

The Problems with the Tower at St James' can be seen below with the barrier set to prevent parishoners and visitors getting to near the falling masonry and roof tiles!

Our MATT & ELVIS evening at the TCC on Saturday 12 March was a GREAT success and over £500 was made towards the Conservation of the Tower.

Photographs will be available soon! Contact Rob if interested....

Many thanks to both MATT & ELVIS for making the evening different and so memorable - well done we all enjoyed your show!
