Welcome to the Glaven Valley Benefice
sharing God’s love in our communities…
Welcome to the website for the Glaven Valley Benefice in North Norfolk. We are a group of five, beautiful Anglican churches working together in the villages of Blakeney, Cley, Glandford, Letheringsett and Wiveton.
We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive community. We believe that the love of God in Jesus Christ is for everyone, of all ages and backgrounds, to receive and experience. So we offer a warm welcome to all – both residents and visitors – and we provide services to suit various styles of worship, along with many groups, activities and events. The five parishes work closely and cooperatively together, and there is a great sense of fellowship, friendship and support across the Benefice.
The What’s On tab will give you up-to-date listings of all our services and events.
Please Contact Us if you have any questions.

Bishop of Norwich helps plant and bless a tree
Some 60 people from across the Glaven Valley Benefice joined the Bishop of Norwich on Sunday 16th February for the planting of a rowan tree in Blakeney churchyard. Bishop Graham Usher is the lead Church of England Bishop for environmental matters.
A number of new trees are being planted to replace two of the fine poplar trees which had to be felled recently as they were rotten and unsafe. The new trees will enhance the beauty of the churchyard for people as well as benefitting wildlife.
This work is part of a continuing project which will also enrich the experience for passers by. This tree was kindly donated by a Cley resident and conservationist.
