Welcome to the website for the Rutland Water Benefice, comprising the Parishes of Edith Weston, Empingham, Lyndon, Manton, North Luffenham, Pilton, Preston, Ridlington, Whitwell and Wing.
These ten parishes are just a small number in the Deanery of Rutland, part of the Diocese of Peterborough. Each Parish is proud of its history stretching back to the Middle Ages with the churches reflecting the changes in architecture and are well cared for by the people.
If you are planning a visit, we hope you find this information useful and when you do arrive, stay a-while not only to spot the iconic Osprey over the reservoir but sample the history of a rural people who have worshipped in these ten churches continuously for 700+ years.
Our What's On Guide gives a list of events in the Rutland Water Parishes over the coming period, more details can also be found in our Parish Magazine distributed free to each home in the benefice.
