The Benefice
The parish of North Nibley is part of the Tyndale Benefice. Rev. Lesley Hewish retired as our Priest-in-charge at the end of July so we are now in vacancy. The advert for a new Priest-in Charge has been published. The Benefice Profile provides an overview of the churches, their aspirations, and the environment in which they are situated.

Churches Together
We work closely with the village Chapel, sharing services and events throughout the year.

‘Life Events’, Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals.
For baptisms, weddings, and funerals, please contact the Benefice office. We’ve also created leaflets about weddings at St Martin’s, including one on flowers.

Music
Our dedicated choir sings at the 9:30 am communion services and special services. New members are always welcome!

The church also has fantastic acoustics for musical performances.

Bells
The bellringers are looking for new recruits!

Village School
We have strong ties with our village C of E primary school, hosting services and ‘experience’ events with support from the congregation. We also assist with ‘Open the Book’ and organise joint fundraising events with the Friends of the School (FONNS).
