Our mission

The same problems arise with Rigsby as with other small Churches. It is our wish that the Church should remain as a place of worship for those who wish to use it, for as long as it is viable to do so.

Our Church

Rigsby with Ailby is the smallest Parish within the Group, and one of the smallest in the County, consisting of two villages joined by fields, footpaths and a bridleway, but over two miles apart by road, combined population of 16 souls.

Nevertheless the Parish Church of St James is well supported, and has a consistent band of some 12 to 15 worshippers at the regular Eucharist Service held on the first Sunday of the month, who sing lustily - if not always tunefully - mainly traditional hymns, with Pat Riley accompanying on the battery powered organ. On darker mornings or gloomy days the Church is bathed in the soft glow of candlelight as there is no electricity here.

We have recently become aware that remedial work to the roof will be necessary in the near future.
