Great Amwell with St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots
Our churches sit in a triangle of countryside in the three villages of Great Amwell, St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots, and serve the community by working together to bring God’s Good News to everyone.
We seek to make space for people to meet God in worship and prayer, to belong to God’s Family and join our fellowship, and to get out and show God’s Love through social action and working in our community. We have close links with our two Church schools and are blessed by being able to work with the teachers, staff and children.
We want to welcome everyone and to help them to walk closer with God, discovering together what it means to ‘live life in all its fullness’, as Jesus promised we would!

Priest in Charge
PUBLIC NOTICE
A proposal has been made to erect a plaque inside St John the Baptist’s Church in memory of Richard Warren and his wife, who were married there in 1610. Richard sailed on the ‘Mayflower’ to New England in 1620. This is in conjunction with The Warren Cousins in the United States.
The formal notice has been placed on the St John the Baptist’s Church noticeboards and you can also view the document HERE.
There is statutory four weeks notice period during which parishioners can object to our proposal for a pilgrims’ plaque in the church. The notice period ends on 13th June 2023.
