St Barnabas Church, Chappel together with All Saints Church, Wakes Colne form one Church of England ecclesiastical Parish.  Our Parish forms part of a single Benefice with the Parish of Great and Little Tey, currently within the Halstead and Hinckford Deanery in the Diocese of Chelmsford. 

Our former Rector of 30 years, Revd John Richardson, retired in May 2020 and sadly will not be replaced.  The Parish and Benefice are currently awaiting direction from the Diocese for future supervisory and leadership arrangements.
