The Ridgeway Group of Churches are in the Diocese of Hereford in a beautiful part of the Marches, the area around the border between Shropshire in England and Powys in Wales. Offa's Dyke running from north to south crosses an ancient Ridgeway running from west to east. It is a deeply rural area. The  principal occupation is agriculture, the second is tourism. Parts of the landscape form an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In the villages, the size of the population has not substantially increased over the centuries, though the market town of Bishop's Castle is bigger than it was when it was one of the last of the 'Rotten Boroughs', returning two MPs to Westminster.

The five parishes are looked after by a Priest-in-charge and a curate, operating with a Local Ministry Team of lay people which is now in training. Each church holds a variety of services, which you can find by clicking on the links on the home page, some of which are lay-led.
