This past year has been a significant one in the life of our churches, marked above all by the formation of the Milborne Benefice, which became effective on 1st April 2025. Our focus throughout the year has been on bringing together the churches of Blackford, Compton Pauncefoot, and Maperton with Milborne Port, Milborne Wick, Goathill, and Charlton Horethorne with Stowell, and on welcoming Goathill into the Parish of Milborne Port.
