Welcome!
Welcome to the website for the Churches of Great Waltham and Ford End now part of the 7 Church group with the Leighs and Little Waltham, The Chignals and St Francis Beaulieu. The group is now known as Gracefields and we will soon have an itegrated website.
Revd Dan Pierce 
is our Priest in Charge. Please don't hesitate to say to "hello" when you see him whether you are a "church goer" or not he will be happy to stop for a chat.
On the 1st Sunday of each month all the Gracefields Churches worship together at Great Waltham at 11am with services on the 3rd Sunday at 11am at Great Waltham and Ford End (2nd and 4th Sundays at 9.30am) please do come and join us. In addition the new Community Worship for all ages and particularly suited to families will take place on the 4th Sunday of the month at 10am at Ford End.. We would like to ensure that everyone who wants to come to Church can. If you would like a lift to Church or you are able to offer a lift please talk to our Churchwardens, David Williams and Jo Pritchard.
On Thursday evenings join us at 6pm for a short, simple, tranquil service at Little Waltham.
This website will soon be replaced by a single Gracefields website. We are sorry this website is not being kept updated but please watch out for the new version.
