Storridge Church

... a beautiful building in which to pray


Welcome


Welcome to the parish church of St. John the Evangelist in Storridge.

Storridge is a rural Herefordshire parish with a beautiful parish church designed by Frederick Preedy. The congregation share traditional Christian worship and values, reaching out into the wider community with a hand of friendship and welcome to all who would wish to join them. Services in Storridge church primarily use orders of service from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP).

The history of the church is a fascinating one and the stained glass is a fine example of Preedy's work with an unusually wide third light.

The church hosts an annual programme of literary (and other) events open to all.

The parish church of St. John the Evangelist in Storridge is situated close to the junction of the B4219 with the A4103 Hereford to Worcester road. If you are planning a visit to the church, either to attend a service or an event, you can find directions and other information for visitors on this website.
