Welcome 
​Welcome to the Parish of Effingham and Fetcham.  The parish also encompasses East and West Horsley and Ockham together with Great and Little Bookham, all basking in the shade of the North Downs of Surrey. We aspire to be outward looking and to encourage our parishioners to have a personal relationship with Our Lord Jesus and our neighbours.  
​

Please feel free to come and introduce yourself.  You will be warmly welcomed.
 
With every blessing,

Father Stephen
