Welcome from the Parochial Church Council for St Anne's

Welcome to our website.

St Anne's is a vibrant and inclusive congregation celebrating the love of God in Christ Jesus. The church building is set amidst wonderful Derbyshire countryside on the edge of the Chatsworth estate, and our desire is to worship God in the beauty of Holiness.

We serve the local community and also the wider community, including many welcome visitors to Chatsworth. The congregation includes people from the Chatsworth estate and also many from the surrounding area, and there are people from all walks of life, both old and young.

Our worship is accessible Book of Common Prayer with good congregation participation and singing. We also honour good preaching and teaching as we seek to relate the Christian faith to everyday life and the complex planet of which we are all a part.

We believe worship should be accessible to all.  We have an accessible Church and toilet and can provide gluten free wafers for communion upon request.

St Anne's, Beeley is in a benefice with St Peter's, Edensor and their website can be accessed here (opens in a new window).
