Safeguarding
We take the issue of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults seriously. If you have concerns please contact the Church or Diocesan Safeguarding Officer using the details on our Contacts page.
We are sorry to confirm that, following Church of England guidelines, the churches at Lavenham and Preston St Mary are closed and there will be no public services in these churches for the time being. We will resume services as soon as we are assured that it is safe to do so.

The Rector and his team are available if anyone should feel a need for spiritual guidance or reassurance during this time. Please telephone 01787 247244 or 01787 829788.
Further information about the church's response to the Covid-19 virus is available on our dedicated webpage.
