THE HUNDRED RIVER BENEFICE is a group of nine Church of England parishes in the north Suffolk countryside, between Beccles and Halesworth. Each parish has its own church building and its own pattern of services and activities. However, we do share a common identity as Anglicans offering a welcome in the name of Jesus Christ to anyone who wishes to travel with us.

The Hundred River is a real river that enters the sea near Kessingland. Divided into numerous streams, it saunters through our countryside, sometimes full and brimming over, sometimes appearing still or dried-up, often bubbling away secret and hidden. The Hundred River makes an excellent symbol for our faith and practice here in this corner of north Suffolk.

The nine historic parishes within our group are, from north to south: Weston (St Peter), which includes Ellough, Ringsfield (All Saints), Ilketshall St Andrew, Sotterley (St Margaret), which includes Willingham, Shadingfield (St John the Baptist), Redisham (St Peter), Stoven (St Margaret), Brampton (St Peter), and Westhall (St Andrew).
