Rev'd Lesley Chapman
Welcome to the website of St James’ Church, Riding Mill.
I am Priest in Charge of this lovely parish here in the Tyne Valley.
Although the size of our parish is small [under 1,000 residents], our community is a vibrant one.
Do visit the parish website to look at some of the many activities the village supports.
We warmly welcome newcomers and visitors to our church services, here at St James’, please check out the times of these below. We offer coffee and tea after both our main Sunday service and our midweek Holy Communion, a chance to meet us for an informal chat.
We also hold regular fundraising events throughout the year at St James. Do keep up to date with these events on the website.
I am also Bishop’s Advisor in Spirituality and Area Dean of Corbridge so I spend time outside the village. By all means leave a message on my telephone or send me an email if you would like to be in touch. I will return your messages as soon as I can.
Thank you for visiting our website. We would love to welcome you to St James’, Riding Mill in the near future.
With prayers and best wishes,
Lesley
