The Anglican Bromyard Deanery hosts 23 churches which in their beautiful isolation and architectural simplicity are full of quiet charm and are worth seeking out as part of your stay in the area. Although congregations may be small, the churches remain an important focal point of village and parish life. You are most welcome to join any of the services on offer.

Some of the delights to be found in local churches range from the superb 12th century font at Castle Frome to the delightful estate chapel in Brockhampton Park, from the surprisingly grand church at Much Cowarne to the primitive chair at Stanford Bishop said to have been used by St. Augustine 1,400 years ago.

In Bromyard, there are three places of worship: the ancient medieval building of St. Peter’s Church, the largest in the area, is always open and offers a range of weekly services and pastoral support from the Rev’d Graham Sykes and his team. Please contact the Parish Office on (01885) 489226, or call in to Food For All, the Christian and General Bookshop in the High Street.

The Roman Catholic Church in Old Road, built in 1956, supports a Catholic population over a wide area of North East Herefordshire. There are regular weekly services. The parish priest, Fr. James Norris can be contacted on (01885) 482446.

In New Road, the Methodist Church, built in 1857 offers Sunday services and has good facilities for local groups to use, including the local cub and scout packs and the Choral Society. The Rev’d Deborah Cornish will be pleased to hear from you on (01531) 632007.

There is an active Christians Together in Bromyard which brings the three congregations to one place for regular ecumenical services. Each year, they provide much needed refreshments at the Bromyard Gala. The procession of the cross on Good Friday through the town draws a large group of worshippers and a witness to the work of the churches in the town.
