St. Nicholas Church

Our opening times for visitors are as follows:

Saturday   9.00am to 5.00pm
Sunday    11.00am to 5.00pm

Unfortunately as a result of theft and disturbances in our wonderful church building, we have had to make the difficult decision to keep St. Nicholas closed during the week, but the church building can often be open by appointment.

We are exploring ways in which we can enable visitors to gain access more freely, and hope to have something in place soon.

If you would like to visit during the week, please email | st.nicholas@bewsboroughparish.org | with the dates of your visit and we will do all we can to accommodate.

Barfrestone is a small village with a population of 60, situated at the northern boundary of the Bewsborough Parish.

There are many visitors to the church, which is open throughout the daylight hours. Ministry to visitors is an important part of the church’s mission.

A small, but faithful congregation, attends the regular 9.00am Sunday service using the Book of Common Prayer. The traditional style of worship attracts people from outside the Parish. St Nicholas Day Evensong and Compline services during Holy Week form part of the programme of joint Parish services. Harvest Thanksgiving and Remembrance Sunday services are supported by the local community.

The church is well maintained, and conservation work on the unique stonework and carving was completed in June 2019.
