Welcome

This website was created to  

  • foster a sense of community and interdependence among our parishes
  • encourage encounters with the church
  • support church tourism

This is one of the most picturesque parts of the south of England.  Our Deanery includes historic churches that stretch from Bosham (shown on the Bayeux Tapestry) in Chichester Harbour to hidden downland churches to the north of our area. These have ministered to scattered village communities for centuries and continue to serve them today with a variety of services and activities available throughout the week.

Please be assured of a very warm welcome in any of our Churches.
