THE UNITED BENEFICE OF DARTMOUTH AND DITTISHAM

PROFILE

The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham was formed in 2008. Prior to this the Parish of Dittisham

was within a Benefice with the villages of Cornworthy and Ashprington. The Parish has not formed a

The four churches across the benefice each have their own distinct tradition. Each of these traditions give

The United Benefice comes together to worship when there is a fifth Sunday in the month, moving around

the Benefice in turn and coming together at other times during the year for specific service such as Holy

Week and patronal festivals, for Lent and Advent courses, to meet as a Cell of the Holy House of the Shrine

of Our Lady of Walsingham and for social events. The parish has a website www.parishofdartmouth.co.uk

which also has a link to its regularly updated facebook page. The churchwardens meet with the clergy team quarterly over a meal and the working relationships between the different churches are positive and fruitful.

THE PARISHES

THE PARISH OF DARTMOUTH

Dartmouth is an ancient and picturesque South Devon town and historic seaport at the mouth of the River Dart and is the home of the Britannia Royal Naval College. Part of the town is within a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with much of it being built on reclaimed land. The town centre boasts some magnificent 14th century buildings and interesting narrow streets, in contrast to the expanding and more modern

Dartmouth at the top of the valley.

People generally tend to rely upon cars for transport, although regular bus services run within the town

and to Totnes and to Plymouth via Kingsbridge. Access to Torbay is generally via one of the two car ferries

across the River Dart to Kingswear, by the passenger ferry and then by bus. A private steam train company

runs seasonal trains aimed mainly at the tourist from Kingswear to Paignton. Bus services run from Paignton and Totnes. There are railway stations at Totnes, 14 miles away and Paignton 9 miles away. The Dart Riverboat Company, the many trades associated with the river along with the Britannia Royal

Naval College are some of the largest employers in the town and there are two small industrial areas at the

top of the town. Employment is mainly in the tourist trade (and therefore largely seasonal) and, other

than self-employment in skilled trades and employment in local shops and offices there is little scope for

career opportunities.

Dartmouth has two schools, Dartmouth Academy (a run-through school from 4-18 years) and is part of the

Kingsbridge Federation of schools, and St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Primary School. Children travel

from a variety of other local schools for their education. Breakfast and after school clubs are available to

assist working parents and there is a Children's Centre on the same site. Following the withdrawal of

funding for youth services in Dartmouth, a group of trustees is working to provide youth work out of the

recently acquired Ivy Lane centre; this work is supported by the schools.

There is a small community hospital which is run by the integrated Torbay and Southern Devon Care Trust,

pastoral care is provided by the Parish along with the Hospital Chaplaincy Team. Dartmouth is fortunate to

have a number of prominent local charities who seek to care for local residents including Dartmouth Caring, Homeless Trust, Food Bank, and the mental health charity Cool Recovery.

Within the town boundary there are a number of areas of varying economic and social strata. River front

properties have been among the most expensive in the country, while at the top of the hill is the largest

social housing estate in the South Hams where over half of the resident population reside. Dartmouth has

a population of 5,064 [2011 census], with a high percentage [27%] of holiday homes. Please see the table

The Parish of Dartmouth has three churches͗ St Clement's (Parish Church), St Petrodž and St Saǀiour's.

There was a fourth church dedicated to St Barnabus which was made redundant in the 1970's but is now

used as a homeless shelter for up to twelve residents with a function venue in what would have been the

main body of the church.

The Parish of Dartmouth has a large combined SATB choir and serving team who sing and serve at each of

the churches. The multiple award-winning Parish of Dartmouth bell ringing team ring the bells at St

Saǀiour's, St Petrox and St Clement's.

St Clement's

The grade 1 listed church dates from the 10th century and stands at the top of the town looking over the

River Dart. It was very successfully re-ordered in 2010. St Clement's is now a ǀery fledžible liturgical,

meeting and performance space. It is used by a large number of local organisations for practice and

performance. There is an 8 am Eucharist on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the month with the 11 am Parish

Sung Eucharist taking place on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. There is a weekly Said Eucharist on Thursdays at

9:30am; Morning and Evening Prayer is said publicly between the churches. The growing youth ministry of

the parish is based at St Clement's with the Parish Sung Eucharist on the first Sunday of the month being

aimed at children and families. There is a very well used church hall adjacent to the church.

St Petrox

The grade 1 listed church which dates from the 11th century is set at the mouth of the River Dart and is

regarded as the Seafarers' Church. It is used weekly during the summer months for Choral Eǀensong, but

due to limited heating and lighting it is little used during the winter months. St Petrox has a significant

wedding ministry owing largely to its attractiǀe location. Eǀensong and monthly Eucharist's use the Book

of Common Prayer. There are sung Eucharist's on Christmas and Easter mornings. St Petrox has a ministry

to those who value the Book of Common Prayer and traditional worship. The church is open daily for visitors.

St Petrox DCC has recently begun the visioning process for re-ordering so as to maintain the traditional

sacred space of the church while making it a little more flexible. The scheme includes the provision of

toilet facilities, disabled access to the church, design and installation of pipe organ and the provision of

kitchen facilities.

St Saǀiour's

The grade 1 listed church which dates from the 13th century is situated in the middle of the town. It is the

largest of the three churches and is seen as the civic church. The church has a ministry to the town and to

the hundreds of visitors who visit the church each week. There is an 8am Eucharist on the 1st (BCP) and 3rd

Sunday and the 11am Parish Sung Eucharist takes place on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. There is

a well-supported weekday Eucharist on Wednesdays at 10am with Morning and Evening Prayer being said

publicly between the churches. Lay led prayers for peace are said every Friday at 11.30 and we hope to

shortly introduce lay led midday prayer in the coming months. St Saviours also houses the well-equipped

parish office and the shortly to be job shared full time administrator.

St Saǀiour's underwent a major restoration in 2014 including the cleaning and restoration of the ceiling and

High Altar, re-plastering, lighting and sound system, disabled access and glass entrance doors, support to

the gallery and formation of a children's area, formation of new priest's sacristy and choir ǀestry. Further

restoration work is planned in the future on the floors and in the longer-term the rebuilding and restoration of the pipe organ.

It is hoped to continue to deǀelop the role of St Saǀiour's within the life of the town, both formally with

of ordered liturgy and music and Sacramental worship.

Opposite St Saǀiour's is the Southford Schoolrooms Building; this building while owned by the church fell

into disrepair. In 2015 restoration of the building began to provide purpose-built accommodation for the

pre-school (which has met there for over forty years) and two maisonettes, and the other to house a house

for duty priest to support the worshipping life of the Benefice. This project was completed in April 2016.

Please see below for pictures of the pre-school and the stunning 2 bedroom with study house for duty maisonette in the heart of the town with views of the river Dart.

The Parish of Dittisham

The Parish of Dittisham has a population of 440 [Church Urban Fund]. It consists of the village of Dittisham itself, with Capton, a small hamlet of approximately 20 houses, tucked into the folds of hills about 1.5 miles away on the Dartmouth Road and there is a cluster of homes in the Bozomzeal/Hole area, there are a number of farms in the locality. The parish is predominantly rural and lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Conservation Area. There are two public houses one of which houses the post office and shop, a village hall and a café. A local community bus and ferry service supports travel to Dartmouth.

St George's

The grade 1 listed church which dates from the early fourteenth century is situated in the middle of the

village. The church is in excellent condition and is beautifully cared for. A re-ordering of the chancel has

just been completed moving the stone eastward-facing altar forward so that it can be used for westward

celebration of the Eucharist.

There is a weekly Parish Sung Eucharist at St George's at 9͗15am; on the second Sunday of the month there

is a lay-led, sung service of the word. On this week the Eucharist is moved to the Tuesday morning. There

is a small choir who sing on a Sunday morning and when requested at weddings and funerals. There is a

large number of holiday homes in Dittisham whose owners come to church when they are in residence,

along with those staying in the village. The church is central to the life of the village and has a very special

ministry associated with it and to the large number of visitors who visit the church which is open daily.

WHO ARE WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

The Benefice is looking for a priest of Catholic faith and practice. The Benefice seeks:

1. an Benefice funded House for Duty priest working Sundays plus two days of the week to support

the wider life of this busy parish.

2. a priest who enjoys exercising priestly and pastoral care, free from the burden of administration!

3. a priest who has his prayer life, the saying of his Office and the celebration of the Eucharist as the

centre of his ministry

4. a priest who will promote the faith through sound preaching and by godly example,

5. a priest who will encourage greater participation in the riches of traditional Anglican devotional life,

6. a priest who will work closely with the laity, sharing responsibility for pastoral and parish

community matters.

7. a priest committed to supporting and developing the pastoral work of the Benefice.

8. an active, outgoing and joy filled priest, who will maintain and grow a position of high visibility

within the Benefice.

9. a priest who is ecumenical in outlook, willing to encourage and participate in cooperation between

other local churches of whatever denomination,

10. a priest who will play his part in maintaining excellence in music and liturgy.

11. A priest who will respect the theological position of the incumbent and curate regarding the

ordination of women. (No part of the benefice has passed the new house of Bishops declaration regarding women in the Episcopate and all views are held and respected within the benefice) The clergy are passionate in playing a full part in the wider life of the diocese.

THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE

In 2015, the Bishop of Exeter, the Right Reverend Robert Atwell asked all parishes to consider their

Christian calling and to contemplate three aspects of their parochial lives of faith which he sees as the

priorities for the Diocese:

Growing in prayer

Making new disciples

Serving the people of Devon with joy

The ǀision for the parish of Dartmouth continues to follow in light of Bishop Robert's priorities:

To call people to worship and service of Jesus Christ To place the life of the Parish firmly within all aspects of life within the town To present the Church as a welcoming and non-judgemental place, serving and helping those in need.

In order to achieve these areas of growth and vision for the Benefice, we have the following objectives:

To continue to develop a particular role and ministry for each church building o St Clement's Continue to develop the building as a flexible centre for worship and other suitable actiǀities. Use all opportunities to make St Clement's accessible and welcoming to children, young people and families, particularly on the first Sunday of the month. We run multiple children's eǀents throughout the year including Good Friday, Family Fest family camping weekend, Shrove Tuesday, harvest, Lantern making and others. o St George's Maintain and develop the parish as an independent, but integrated, part of the Benefice, while using all opportunities for sharing resources and to continue to develop its ministry to visitors and as a centre of unity in the village. o St Petrox Continue and expand its ministry to those who value the Book of Common Prayer and traditional worship and to further develop its ministry to visitors.quotesdbs_dbs16.pdfusesText_22
