It is intended to provide you with a brief overview of our location, day-to-day life within our small group of rural parishes and how we currently go about delivering the Gospel, along with our future aspirations. It is by no means exhaustive, but will, hopefully, contain enough information to inspire you to want to learn more. At the end of this document you will find contact details for both further enquiry and how to apply. Thank you for your interest. 3 Introduction The Benefice of Cranford, Grafton Underwood and Twywell in Northamptonshire was served by the Rector, the Revd Daniel Foot, for 35 years until his retirement at the end of September 2018. Slipton was informally added to this group in 1995. This document has been prepared to acquaint a potential successor with information concerning the four parish group. Although, since the inclusion of Slipton, now not wholly a formal Benefice, we regard ourselves as one. In general terms and for the purposes of this Profile and Vision Statement we refer to ourselves as a ‘ United Benefice ’.
