Clent Parish Church

St. Leonard’s is a pretty, rural church, set below the southern 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. Recent re-organisation affiliates St. Leonard with the two neighbouring churches of St. John and St. Saviour in Hagley, all under the guidance of Rev. Richard Newton. Kim Topham has just become Curate to these parishes. Alison Lewis has become an LLM to St. Leonard, and Rose Padmore is our ALM. ( These terms are explained on our Contacts page )

just like the shepherds …

Download the diary of Services … and put it on the fridge door (you’ll be opening it regularly from now on and it will remind you where and when the services will take place). Why not put a copy somewhere else where others can see … a front window ? on the gate-post ? in your car ? Take part in … the ADVENT WINDOW TRAIL. Download the map here. Clent families are putting-on an Advent display in their front windows for people to follow (just like opening a window in an Advent calendar, one day at a time). It will start in Odnell Lane, then down Church Avenue, through King’s Meadow, along Bromsgrove Lane and Holy Cross Green.
