Situated in the southern part of the Diocese of Gloucester, Wotton Deanery is a diverse and vibrant community shaped by a rich heritage of engineering, agriculture, and shipping. Stretching across beautiful rural landscapes, villages, and market towns, our churches are deeply rooted in the communities they serve.

Our vision for this work is best explained by our Deanery Strategic Pathway and progress can be tracked by our DSP project tracker (links below).

While each parish has its own unique character and calling, we are united by one faith, one mission, and one God. Together, we seek to share the love of Christ, serve our neighbours, and nurture flourishing communities. Drawing on the strengths of our people, places, and traditions, we look to the future with hope, working together to support and encourage one another in faith and service.
