Holy Communion, St Edward's Stow
Welcome
to the website of the Benefice of Stow, Condicote & The Swells in the beautiful Cotswolds, where we always look forward to welcoming worshippers and visitors.
Pew Cushion Appeal
This summer we are planning to install comfortable fitted cushions in the central (Nave) pews.
Good quality fitted cushions are expensive and we depend on donations to help us care for the beautiful building and for projects like this.

New hardstanding at our North Door
Rt Revd Robert Springett (Bishop Robert) with Revd Karen Wellman after he recently commissioned and blessed the hard standing by the North Door.
Thanks were given to the sponsors of the project - The Friends of St Edward's Church, Stow Town Council, The Alexander Trust, Stow Civic Society and Mr Graham Golby. The new hardstanding is a great improvement over the previous surface, which easily became very muddy.
