St Cuthbert's church is situated on the edge of High Ackworth, an area of significant historical interest.

Although we are blessed with a beautiful church building, with fine architecture and many attractive features, we also look and work towards been a church beyond the walls, moving outside our regular patterns of worship, seeking to bring the church to where the people are. We are keen to work in partnership with our local community and people. 

We are a busy, lively congregation supporting a wonderful mixture of traditional and modern worship styles, providing a warm, and family friendly atmosphere to all.

Although there has been a worshipping congregation here for many centuries, we would love you to join us as we continue this worshipping tradition.
