Welcome to the Iwerne Valley Benefice

The Iwerne Valley Benefice is made up of five parishes, Ashmore, Fontmell Magna, Sutton Waldron, Iwerne Minster and Shroton.  The Villages are situated on the edge of the Cranborne Chase and  the Blackmore Vale.  Our churches play an important role in the life of our villages.  Offering a wide range of worship, commuity events, coffee mornings and much much more.

In addition to this the Church has a strong link with St Andrew's VA Primary School in Fontmell Magna.  To discover more about our work and worship please click on the links above, or simply contact us for a chat.
