The Owmby Group
Welcome To Our Site
Who Are We?
The Owmby Group comprises five parishes situated just off the A15 in Lincolnshire, running northwards from Hackthorn to Bishopbridge (which is just beyond Glentham). Hackthorn is approx. eight miles from Lincoln and Glentham about sixteen.
The five churches in use are St. Michael and All Angels at Hackthorn, St. Helen's at Saxby, St. Hilary's at Spridlington, Ss. Peter & Paul at Owmby, and St. Peter's at Glentham. There are also several redundant churches and chapels, including a Methodist Free Chapel and St. Peter's at Normanby. Glentham has a Methodist Chapel still in use.
Since 2007 the Owmby Group has shared their parish priest with the Springline Parish, situated on the opposite side of the A15. Springline is one parish, covering nine former smaller parishes and with eight churches in use.
These are St. Vincent Burton, St. John the Baptist South Carlton, St. Luke North Carlton, St. John the Baptist Scampton, St. Cuthbert Brattleby, St. Michael & All Angels Cammeringham, All Saints Ingham and St. Andrew Fillingham. St. Peter's Church Aisthorpe is redundant. The area runs from Burton Waters, off the A57 and on the Fosdyke Navigation.
Canon Peter Godden is assisted by a large team of volunteer ministers, including non-stipendiary and locally-ordained ministers, readers and authorised local ministers. Contact details for members of the ministry team can be found by following the Contacts link in the menu on the left.

Email Spam
It has been brought to our attention that emails are being sent out appearing to come from a user at OwmbyGroup.co.uk. This is NOT the case. In fact they are originating from a machine somewhere in Argentina and the email header is being forged. We are investigating the situation more and hope to be able to put a stop to it soon.
The Owmby Group does NOT send out unsolicitated emails. If you have received an email and you are not sure if it is genuine; forward the message to emailcheck at owmbygroup dot co dot uk to verify its authenticity. Be sure to include all headers with your email. Please contact Steve, our tech support, at steve at owmbygroup dot co dot uk if you require assistance.
Message From The Rector
If you travel north from Lincoln along the old Roman road (which is now the A15), we are in the flat countryside to your right - a string of villages among acres of farmland. Our communities are small, but lively and welcoming, and in each of the major villages we have an active local church, set in five of the most beautiful church buildings in the county.
We hope you enjoy our website.
Do come and see us.
Peter Godden
Rector
