Church of England
The two parish churches operate effectively as a single church with two buildings
St Simon & St Jude, Quendon CB11 3XJ
Quendon's Parish Church building may be found at the end of a tiny lane off the main Cambridge Road. Perched atop a small hill it is easily recognisable by its white bell tower and cupola.
All Saints, Rickling CB11 3YL
The two churches are part of a joint benefice with the Parish Church of St Nicholas, Berden (CM23 1AJ) and that of St Mary the Virgin, Manuden (CM23 1DD). Sunday services are arranged according to the a two-month basic rota (subject to seasonal/festival variations) , and it is best to consult THE LINK parish magazine for details. If it is the end of a month the latest copy of THE LINK here may be for next month so look at the previous THE LINK. These .pdf files are quite large (a 2-3MB compromise between picture quality and download speed) so be patient while they download!
