Clent Parish Church
St. Leonard’s is a pretty, rural church, set below the south flank of Clent and Walton Hills, in the north of the county of Worcestershire. We are part of the Stourbridge Deanery of churches in the Diocese of Worcester. Clent was formerly part of the United Benefice of Clent & Belbroughton with Fairfield. Recent re-organisation affiliates St. Leonard with the neighbouring churches of St. John and St. Saviour in Hagley, all under the guidance of Rev. Richard Newton. We meet for worship every Sunday morning. We would be delighted if you would join us. St. Leonard’s has an ‘open-door’ policy and so is open to all from 8 am to 8 pm - for private prayer and personal contemplation. Bibles (New International Version) are in all pews. A weekly ‘Update’ (free) and the monthly Parish Magazine (modest charge) are available within the building. Many ramblers over the Clent Hills enjoy a break and respite on the premises.“Come unto me all who travail and are heavy laden,
and I will refresh you.“
Our address is: St. Leonard’s Square, Church Avenue, Clent. Our postcode is: DY9 9PN Google map of our location . Please note: there is no access off the A491 dual-carriageway. You will need to use the (old) Bromsgrove Road. The toilet has baby-changing facilities. Our grounds and building (and toilet) accommodate Disabled Access - though the interior is on two distinct levels and requires re-location via the outside. We have recently installed two disabled car parking bays in the churchyard .. approach via Vine Lane.

The Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation (theophany) of God incarnate as Jesus Christ and which commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, and thus Jesus' physical manifestation to the Gentiles. It is sometimes called Three Kings' Day and in some traditions celebrated as “Little Christmas”. The eve of the feast is celebrated as Twelfth Night (Epiphany Eve) and the following day is Plough Monday , the traditional start of the English agricultural year and the resumption of work in the fields.
