COPT HALL LANE Little Wigborough Colchester

St Nicholas Church at Little Wigborough is known locally as the church on the marshes.  It is situated beside Copt Hall which is owned by the National Trust.  It is a small historic building with a rood screen which only seats about 50 people.

The church is normally used for worship every first Sunday of the month at 11am, for a family friendly Holy Communion service to which all are welcome. The church is normally open daily to visitors during the summer months, though currently it has to be closed due to cracks inside and out. The extreme weather conditions in 2017 and 2018 have caused subsidence cracks in the SW buttress and nearby walls. Inside the floor has sunk in some places and raised up in others.

St Nicholas Church is also known for its proximity to the site where the L33 zeppelin landed on September 24th, 1916.  A centenary commemoration event called 'Zepfest' was held on the fields around Copt Hall during the weekend of September 24th and 25th, 2016.  See the website...  www.zepfest.net

St Stephen's Church serves a small village community near the coast of North Essex.  We are a small but welcoming congregation, meeting each Sunday and often on the fifth Sunday when we have a Joint Service at either Peldon or Wigborough churches.

We share coffee or other refreshments after each service and welcome visitors at any service.

Our PCC is working towards making the church nave very accessible to the local community for both public and private events.  We have renewed the floor and worked on the heating, lighting and electrics.   We also provide wifi (hopefully by summer 2022), a sound system and projection facilities for various types of events.  We have an accessible toilet, movable kitchen facilities and wet area for serving refreshments.
