Churches in Lovington Parish

St Thomas A Becket

Lovington
01963 240247

St Thomas a Becket church is part of the Six Pilgrims benefice, a group of small churches in a very rural area who believe being closer together brings them closer to God. We are a travelling people! Sometimes our worship is at St Thomas and sometimes it is in one of the other churches. These don't always fit into a regular pattern so please click on One-Off events to see where the services are this week.

Six Pilgrims are inclusive churches and we really mean it when we say "All are welcome in this place" so, especially if you have felt an outsider elsewhere, come and give us a try.
