Churches in Bromham Parish
Bromham: St Nicholas
St Nicholas is a friendly and welcoming Church
at the heart of the community in Bromham
The Church is always open during the day: do come in and look around, perhaps sit quietly or pray or do please join us at any of our services.
There is always a range of resources available which may be helpful and we have a well used Prayer Tree to which anyone can add their prayers.
We have a range of services which we hope offer something to the most traditional as well as our youngest members. Details of our these are given on the 'Our Services' link and are always to be found in the Parish Magazine and on the notice board in the church porch. Fuller details are shown in the calendar.
As well as the Parish Church we have the Church of St Mary the Virgin and St Nicholas in Sandy Lane, a small thatched timber building, where we have two 8 am services of Holy Communion each month.
We look forward to welcoming you
