At present, our vicar, Rev Clive Jenkins, who is due to retire in May 2025, is in charge of two parishes, Kirdford with Plaistow & Ifold and Wisborough Green. In consultation with Diocesan advisers and with a lot of prayerful consideration, the PCCs (Parochial Church Councils) of both parishes have agreed that we should become a United Benefice. This means that the two parishes will be more formally linked than at present, while still maintaining separate PCCs, each being responsible for the day to day running and finances of their part of the Benefice.

The process of forming a United Benefice has passed through various stages of consultation and has been approved by the Bishop of Chichester. The proposal is now being considered by the Church Commissioners who have issued a formal Notice of Public Consultation on the proposals.  This Notice can be read by clicking on the image right and, within the document, you can click on a link which will take you to the Church of England consultation page.  As you have to scroll through several consultations to find the relevant one, for convenience, the direct link is here.
