Bromham Benefice:
Bromham, Oakley and Stagsden Churches Welcome You
Welcome to Bromham Benefice website!
The Benefice is made up of three rural parishes to the west of Bedford – Bromham, Oakley and Stagsden. Our three beautiful and ancient churches have been part of their communities for hundreds of years, and continue to provide a focus for Christian worship, growth and outreach.
We would love to welcome you to any of our services or events, so do come and get to know us; and please get in touch if you need more information about anything on this website, or you have a specific question.
If you wish to visit one of our churches outside service times please contact the relevant churchwarden or our Administrator who can arrange access (all churches are kept locked), please see our Who’s Who page for contact details.
Services in the next two weeks
We welcome people from all our villages to each service: we join together as one congregation, travelling to worship in different church buildings.

Mothering Sunday 15th March
We have 3 services to mark Mothering Sunday on 15th March. Join us in either St Owen’s, Bromham or St Mary’s Oakley at 10.30am for a family friendly service. At 3pm we will be holding an Alternative Mothering Sunday Service in St Owne’s Bromham, which is aimed at those who struggle with Mothers Day, for whatever reason, and will be a quiet and reflective space.
