The village of Long Clawson is located approximately 4 miles from Melton Mowbray.

We are a church in the Vale of Belvoir, 6 miles north of Melton Mowbray. There has been a chapel on this site since 1801, being replaced for a larger building in 1840. Then in January 1954, for reasons never discovered, this chapel burnt down.

Our present building was opened in September 1956. We have a regular attendance averaging 12 people at our Sunday morning worship.

A weekly Baby & Toddler group is held on a Wednesday morning during term time, which has been running for over 30 years, with some of the original ‘toddlers’ now bringing their own children! On the 2nd Saturday in the month we have a Coffee Morning, 10.30am to 12noon, for anyone to drop in for a cuppa and a chat, which is appreciated as other events held in the village happen during the weekdays.

In Long Clawson there are two other churches, Baptist and Church of England, and some time ago we formed a group called ‘Long Clawson Christians Together’. We share an outdoor service for Remembrance Sunday and on Palm Sunday we take a service walking around the village with a donkey. Also on Good Friday, we do the same carrying the cross.
