Welcome to the Weald Way Benefice
Three beautiful Parish Churches in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
Saint Thomas à Becket Framfield
East Hoathly Parish Church
Chiddingly Parish Church
The Parish Church of Saint Thomas à Becket Framfield
This beautiful church is the oldest of our three churches, and worships in a more informal way. We serve the communities of Framfield, Blackboys and Palehouse Common. Saint Thomas’ is the only church in the Benefice with a dedication, this being to Saint Thomas à Becket whose shrine is contained within Canterbury Cathedral.

East Hoathly Parish Church
Sits in the heart of the village, and is used every day by children from East Hoathly CE School which is right next door! Our worship is more traditional, with a ‘central’ usually Eucharistic liturgy.

Chiddingly Parish Church
This fine church with its imposing spire lies in the heart of the village, and is well loved by the local communities of Chiddingly, Muddles Green and Whitesmith. We have a ring of eight bells, that are popular with visiting ringers. Like East Hoathly we worship within a ‘central’ anglican tradition.
