About us...

All Saints, Scraptoft is a beautiful village church on the North East edge of Leicester. The oldest part of the building goes back to 1200AD and it has Grade 1 Listed status.

The building was extensively re-ordered in 1991 and is now a wonderfully flexible space for worship, events and social occasions. We don’t have a church hall, so everything we do is based at the church and takes place here.

Worship

Each Sunday there is a Sung Eucharist (communion service) at 10.00am, which lasts approximately one hour and we use a combination of traditional and modern music.

On Wednesday lunchtimes, at 12.00pm, there is a Said Eucharist, which provides worship of a quieter kind than Sunday.

Morning Prayer is said in Church from Monday to Friday at 8.30am.

There is a monthly Coffee Morning, a Coffee Stop on Tuesdays at 10.00am (at which people bring along their knitting or other crafts) and other events during the year (Summer Fete, Harvest Weekend, etc.) In addition there are regular times of study and exploration of our faith and practice.

Our worship is in the catholic tradition in which we are fed by word and sacrament throughout the year. We are affiliated to The Society of Saints Wilfrid and Hilda, whose aims are:

    • to promote and maintain catholic teaching and practice within the Church of England
    • to provide episcopal oversight to which churches, institutions and individuals will freely submit themselves
    • to guarantee a ministry in the historic apostolic succession in which they can have confidence

We are part of the Diocese of Leicester but come under the episcopal care of the Bishop of Richborough.
