A Warm Welcome

A very warm welcome to St Wilfrid's C of E Church in Grappenhall.  Grappenhall is a village on the southern edge of Warrington, Cheshire.  The picturesque heart of the village is a conservation area with the church, a historic listed building, at its centre.  

We have recently obtained Vistor statistics for this website and we are amazed by the number of visits we receive, especially those from overseas.  We would like to hear from anyone who is reading this page from outside of our parish, particularly if you have historical links with Grappenhall.  Please follow this link to our Friends Page. 

Please Read the Following Important Message and Help Us to Reduce Our Outgoings

As some of you may be aware,  the Water Companies, in St Wllfrid's case United Utilities, are ignoring churches charitable status and starting to charge Churches for the amount of area (i.e. roofs and car parks) that will collect rainwater and discharge it into the sewer network.  This will effectively raise most churches water bills by hundreds if not thousands of pounds.

There is an online government petition that you can register on which can be accessed by following this link: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ChurchWaterBills.  Please help by signing this petition on-line.  Click on the link and follow the instructions very carefully.  To register your signature you have to fill in the simple on-line form and then respond to an email you will receive instantly from 10 Downing Street.  Thank you very much for your help.

Through this website we invite all-comers to visit our church, either in body, mind or spirit.  Those who are already part of our regular congregation can keep up to date with news and forthcoming events.  Those who have moved out of the parish, or who can no longer get to church, can stay in touch with what is going on with our Friends page.  Most of all, those who want to know more about Christianity will hopefully learn what it means to be committed Christians and join us in worship in Grappenhall or elsewhere nearer their home.
