Church of England
Having for many years operated effectively as a single church with two buildings, the two church parishes of Quendon and Rickling are now formally united as the Church Parish of Quendon and Rickling. Both church buildings continue in use for the parish. The parish shares its vicar, the Rev. Peter Allen, with Newport and Widdington parishes. See here for more.
St Simon & St Jude, Quendon CB11 3XJ
Quendon's 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
Rickling Church building is at Church End in the now almost deserted old village of Rickling, a mile or so from Rickling Green. Like Quendon's church it is at the top of a hill, and lies beside the road between Rickling Green and Wicken Bonhunt.
The two churches are part of a joint benefice with the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Newport and that of St Mary the Virgin, Widdington. Sunday services are arranged according to a basic rota (subject to seasonal/festival variations), but it is best to consult THE LINK (see submenu to News above) parish magazine for details.
For information regarding the churches at Quendon and Rickling, please contact Quendon Churchwardens Christine Osbourn on 01799 543367 or Maureen Hawkins.
