Shotwick (pronounced Shottick) is a tiny agricultural village of only fifteen houses and a small seventeenth century manor house situated on the Wirral peninsula, some eight miles from the Roman city of Chester in the North West of England.

St. Michael’s is a medieval double aisled church with largely eighteenth century furniture including box pews and a three decker pulpit. It stands on the site of a former ford across the River Dee which forms the border with Wales.

The parish has a strong sense of community, however with only one hundred and twenty residents, a large part of the welcoming congregation come from further afield, drawn by the traditional services and the sense of being part of continuing worship which has taken place here for so many generations.

We are open every day 9-5 for public enjoyment. Do put something in our visitors' book. 

There is usually a service at 11.30am every Sunday. Please see the Calendar for any variations.

Following years of planning and the process to get the tower project underway the time has arrived for the job to begin.
Leading Edge Access who have worked on some notable cathedrals are now tackling the repointing and damaged sandstone replacements. The work will last some weeks and is fascinating to watch.

All donation however small will be gratefully received.

TEXT OF THE YEAR

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23
