Welcome to the Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells & Easterton.
Our Churches are now open every day. Please continue to sign in and use hand sanitiser provided.
Masks should be worn at all times, unless you are addressing the congregation, reading the lesson from the front of the church. We would encourage everyone with COVID symptoms to take a lateral flow test before attending services.
We would love to see everyone in person at services around the Benefice.
We are five church communities in the villages of
Market Lavington, West Lavington, Great Cheverell, Little Cheverell & Easterton.
Please continue to pray for Marion, the ministry team and the churchwardens as they work together in our local communities.
From the Rector
In consultation with Bishop Andrew and Revd. Rhona Float, we have decided to postpone the Visioning Day that was to be held on 13th October. The day will now take place on Wednesday 16th March 2022. Not as far off as it sounds. (Please make a note of the date in your diary’s). It’s not about having an agenda, but more about working together on what we are good at and what direction we feel God is calling us to go. That should give us an overall picture about what the churches of the benefice should/are aiming to do within the context of village life. Then under the umbrella of that vision statement, each church should be able to find its own mission statement that feeds into and supports the larger benefice vision. In turn this gives each church aims to strive for and work towards.
A questionnaire has been compiled to inform our Visioning Day.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey online at

It is titled: A questionnaire from The Benefice of the Lavingtons, Cheverells and Easterton
