Welcome to the Bridges Group of Parishes

We are a family of six rural churches nestled just outside the market town of Southam in Warwickshire. Located in the south-east corner of the Coventry Diocese, renowned for its global ministry of peace and reconciliation, we sit at the meeting point of Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire, right in the heart of England.

Our name and vision are inspired by the red-brick humpback bridges that link our parishes, arching gracefully over the Grand Union and Oxford canals.

Together, we are the worshipping communities of Lower Shuckburgh, Napton, Priors Hardwick, Priors Marston, Stockton, and Wormleighton—more than historic buildings, we are the living body of Christ.

At present, we are in a vacancy, and our website may not always reflect the latest updates. Most of our churches use A Church Near You to share service times and news, so please visit us there for the most current information.
