Widford Church has strong connections with its local community:


HWW Benefice

Hunsdon Church shares its Rector with the churches in Widford and Wareside. Together the parishes are called a United Benefice. This website shows what is happening across the benefice.


Hunsdon Church

Our sister church since the 1950s







Wareside Church

Our sister church since 1980








The Rectory

The Rector’s Blog – musings about life in the world and in the church (on the basis that he’s engaged with both).




The Vicar & Friends

Over the years, the Rector has drawn together a number of local musicians to put on concerts of popular music to raise funds for the churches and other local causes.


Widford Village

The Village Website, managed by the Parish Council






Friends of Widford Church
The Friends of Widford Church care deeply about the beautiful and historic church building of St John the Baptist, Widford. Their funds provide special assistance towards major projects and regular maintenance of the fabric itself, contributing greatly to the life of the church.



The Church of England

This is the denomination of the worldwide Christian Church to which Widford church belongs.








St Albans Diocese

Government is facilitated by local authorities (councils) acting in smaller geographical areas like counties.  In the Church of England, the equivalent geographical region to a county is called a Diocese, centred on a Cathedral City where the Bishop has his administration.  We are in St Albans Diocese.


The Deanery of Hertford and Ware

A deanery is the church governance equivalent of a civic district (like East Herts) which has its own council to represent the people.  Widford is in the Hertford and Ware Deanery.
