Akeley Church

Although the original church building in Akeley was taken down in 1979, worship in the village very much continues. Services are held twice a month in Akeley Village Hall, offering a relaxed and friendly setting where everyone is welcome.

On the second Sunday of each month, people gather for Village Worship, and on the fourth Sunday they celebrate Holy Communion. Each service lasts around 45–50 minutes and is followed by tea, coffee and a soft drink for anyone who would like to stay a little longer for conversation and fellowship.

In addition, regular services are held just one and a half miles away at Lillingstone Dayrell and Maids Moreton, both part of North Buckingham Parish. The parish includes five churches, with a sixth church within the wider benefice of North Buckingham Parish with Stowe.

Services are led by the Rector, Hans Taling, the Associate Priest for Stowe, Cathy Pearce, or one of our four licenced Lay Readers. The congregation is usually small and welcoming, typically 6 to 12 people, and newcomers are warmly welcomed.

Hymns are accompanied on a Clavinova (electronic piano), and the Church are always happy to encourage participation. If a child can play a well-known hymn tune, they would be warmly invited to share their gift!

Whether you are a regular worshipper, visiting the area, or simply curious, you are very welcome to join Akeley Worship!

Our School hall was blessed by the Bishop in the 1980s years ago as a venue for Services.  This changed, with COVID-19, which is why services are now all held in the Village Hall.
