The Visitation Sevices for 2026 have now been released. Please note in your diary the date, time and venue for each visitation. It is a legal requirement for ALL Churchwardens, whether newly elected or continuing, to be sworn into office each year and this happens at a Visitation Service. All Visitation Services in 2026 will be led by the Bishop and are therefore Episcopal Visitations.
