About St Peters, Monkhopton

The parish is known as Monkhopton with Upton Cressett. Access between the two is only a cart track, and the direct road (very narrow lane!) is from Morville.

This 12th century church serves a small hamlet of 86 people. The land is all within one estate but is rented out to other farmers. Monkhopton is about 6 miles west of Bridgnorth. We have two family services a month, on the 2nd and 4th Sunday at 3pm, and services at Christmas, Easter and Harvest. The local community, under the leadership of St Peter's treasurer Tim Morris, is engaged in raising funds for restoration work. Download their appeal for help here. 

St Michael's in Upton on Cressett no longer has services, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands in the grounds of Upton Cressett Hall, originally 12th century but largely rebuilt in the mid 19th century, it is now in need of substantial renovation.
