Welcome
Mirfield is a small town in Kirklees, and our team parish comprises of St. Mary’s Mirfield, St. John’s Upper Hopton and St. Paul’s Easthorpe.
About Us
Mirfield Team Parish was formed in 2007. It was created by joining the three historic parishes of Mirfield, Eastthorpe and Upper Hopton. We have three church buildings, and you can find out more about these below.
We also run a busy Community Centre, next to St. Mary’s church with a variety of different halls, outdoor activity area and excellent catering facilities. You can find out more about the hall at their dedicated website.
Responsibility for the Parish is taken by our Clergy, Church Wardens and Parochial Church Council (PCC).

SAFEGUARDING
Christian communities should be places where all people feel welcomed respected and safe from abuse.
Our Church is committed to encouraging an environment where all people, and especially those who may be vulnerable for any reason, are able to worship and pursue their faith journey with encouragement and in safety. To this end we have adopted the House of Bishop’s Child Protection Policy “Protecting all God’s Children and their policy for safeguarding adults in the Church of England “Promoting a safe Church” as the basis for our own Church policy and practice document. A copy of these documents are in kept in our churches for inspection or can be found at the Church of England website (safeguarding) link given below.
If you have any concerns about any child or adults welfare please contact Rev’d Hugh Baker on 07972107146.
The Diocesan Safeguarding Team can be contacted on 0113 353 0257 or via email at safeguarding@leeds.anglican.org. You can also visit their safeguarding page.
