We are now hopeful that a solution to our clergy vacancy is imminent. We are to join with Gentleshaw and Farewell parish, and share their incumbent, Rev. Lynn McKeon. We look forward to this proposal being taken forward soon. The remaining issue is that our current benefice is with Christ Church in Lichfield, and this benefice will need to be split up, allowing us to join with Gentleshaw. We are excited about this move, which we hope will benefit both of these rural parishes.
Welcome to the ‘home’ page of St. James the Great,
the parish church of Longdon, Staffordshire. The shell is one of the symbols of St. James. Pilgrims to the shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela used to collect scallop shells as a token of their visit. The shells below are links to the main pages in this site, and there are other links to the left of this panel. We hope you enjoy browsing and that you find the site interesting and informative. If you are not a regular worshipper here, we look forward to seeing you at one of our events or services.
