We are part of the Draycote and Leam Valley Benefice, and alongside our friends in 7 other parishes are here to worship God and share the good news about Jesus. If you would like to sign up for our weekly e-mail newsletter which has details of what's going on in Willoughby and across the Benefice as a whole please e-mail our Priest-in-Charge Rev Phil Price
In May 2022, the National Lottery Heritage Fund gave us permission to start work on replacing the nave roof and restoring stonework, after awarding us just over £248,000. The building work was completed in September 2023. It has been an amazing journey of discovery and we owe the Heritage Fund and everyone who has been involved a huge debt of gratitude. Without your support on our journey, we would not be where we are today. We still have events and activities planned as part of our commitment to the community and to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Please watch out for information about these and come and join us.
