The Parish of Stratford-upon-Avon consists of three churches: Holy Trinity, Stratford-upon-Avon; All Saints', Luddington; and St Helen's, Clifford Chambers.
St Helen’s is a beautiful little church where Sunday services are held each week. We aim to provide a mixture of service styles to suit most preferences from family worship to the more traditional. Our festivals are well- attended and children and families are important and valued at St Helen’s.
The congregation, though small, is committed. The tower which has traces of Saxon work has recently been restored and now church members and villagers are fundraising and working with grant aiding bodies towards restoration of the interior our church.
Monthly coffee mornings are held in the Jubilee Hall where people from the village and surrounding area get together for a cup of coffee and a chat.
Clifford Chambers traditionally has Shakespearean connections and, whether you are joining us for fellowship on a Sunday or visiting our historic Church, open during the day, we look forward to welcoming you.
