WELCOME TO THE CHURCHES OF ARDEN!
Welcome
We are the churches of Claverdon, Wootton Wawen, Preston Bagot and Aston Cantlow - four parishes a few miles from Stratford-upon-Avon in South Warwickshire. Our vision as a Group is to grow the Christian presence within our communities through friendship, involvement in local activities, and by offering opportunities for worship, prayer and discussion for people of all ages.
We are part of the Church of England’s Coventry Diocese. We have been in vacancy since January 2024, searching and praying for a new incumbent to come and lead us. But see below - the search is over! Our new Minister - Rev Tom Thomas - joined us on 17th March!
There is always a lot going on here - have a look round our website, and better still - come and visit us in person!
Worship Services
We hold a range of worship services from week to week - informal Cafe Church, Morning and Evening Prayer, Holy Communion in modern and traditional settings.
When there is a 5th Sunday in the month, all four churches get together for a joint celebration.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
WELCOME REVD TOM THOMAS!
In a memorable and inspiring service on Tuesday 17th March in St Peter’s Wootton Wawen, the Bishop of Coventry licensed Revd Tom Thomas to be our next Priest-in-Charge of the Churches of Arden. Over 160 people attended from the four parishes, and from Tom’s previous parish in Sparkhill, Birmingham, together with clergy and friends from the wider Coventry Diocese. It was a joyous occasion, followed by a wonderful reception in Wootton Wawen Village Hall.
Tom was joined by his wife Jo, daughters Eve and Aisha, his mother and uncle.
We create spaces for all ages to build community and explore faith.
