St Andrew, Wickhambreaux
The church of St Andrew stands at the heart of the village by the Green.
For details of services, please see the Church Calendar.
The church is now open for personal prayer on Sundays and Wednesdays from 10am to 4pm.
Originating in the 13th Century, with restoration during Victorian times, the church is open to visitors, many of whom admire the fine Art Deco East Window and remarkable wall decoration. Click link to find out more about the history of the church and the church's links to the Dambuster's squadron.
Christmas 2016
Wickhambreaux hosted two events and these photos provide a glimpse into them. Photos courtesy of Brian Maxted.
The first of these events on 18th December, was our Carols on the Green service which was held on the Green and was attended by about 100 people. We enjoyed a service of nine lessons and carols, expertly conducted by Tina Burton.
The second event was the Midnight Mass held on Christmas Eve when
the service was taken by the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted by Rev Nigel
Hale. The church was beautifully decorated, we had a large choir and our bell
ringers provided a warm welcome to the service. It was a lovely service
attended by more than 150 worshippers and a memorable occasion for all those
involved.
Classic Cars and Fete
In May 2017 we had a really excellent event last weekend joining forces with the Parish Council Playing Field Committee for a Classic Cars and Fete extravaganza on the Wickhambreaux playing field.
It was jointly run and the proceeds are to be shared between the Playing Field Committee and St Andrew’s church. While the total amount raised is not yet clear we do expect it to be one of best events in recent times. Please enjoy some of the photographs supplied by Brian Maxted.
