Christ Church has formed a Prayer Circle so that prayer topics can be
co-ordinated for people to use in Private Prayer. If you would like to have
any items included or join the Circle please contact Margaret Lewis (722628).

Our Parishes give ongoing financial support to the Diocese of Ho in Ghana through its links with the HO Diocesan Association and personal links with the Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Revd. Matthias Kwabla Medadues-Badohu. Due to technical problems with the Diocese of Ho website we are not able to provide a link to that site at this time. We hope to restore this link as soon as possible.

York Diocesan News is available on line in both Word and
PDF formats for you to view or print off. Similarly, the
Monthly Diocesan Prayer Calendar is also available on line.

About us...

Christ Church is an Anglican Christian church within the Church of England. It is the parish church of Great Ayton with Easby in the Deanery of Stokesley in the Diocese of York. We also have responsibility for the ancient 12th century All Saints Church which is situated in close proximity to Christ Church.

St. Oswald's is the Parish Church of Newton-under-Roseberry and, together with Christ Church, forms a united benefice under the Vicar, the Reverend Paul Peverell, whose contact details are given below.

As building of this site progresses, it is intended to include a variety of information regarding the history and geography of all the churches in our parishes, the church activity groups, the people involved in their administration and the ministry of the Church to God's people.

Although there is a predominance of information relating to Christ Church, the Parish Church of Great Ayton, it is intended that pages and sections relating to St. Oswald's at Newton will eventually be included for those wanting information about that parish. Please be patient.

It is also intended to include links to other websites both within and outside the Anglican Church where it is felt that these could be useful to those requiring information within a wider context.

Ongoing improvements to this site are in progress and will soon include additional sections with more photographs of our people and places. Watch this space for notice of these improvements when they are introduced.
