Volunteers at The Abbey at Milton
The Abbey benefits from a great team of volunteers who provide a warm welcome to our worshippers and visitors.
Before the Reformation in 1540, the Abbey was a community of Benedictine monks. One of the Benedictine rules is to welcome all visitors as if you were welcoming Christ himself. We continue to welcome visitors according to this Benedictine rule and our staff, volunteer stewards and guides are responsible for offering our visitors a high quality experience and very warm welcome.
Behind the scenes, volunteers help with everything from fundraising, to refreshments. If you have a few hours a week to spare, we would love to hear from you. In return for donating your time and skills, you would receive personal training, and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to preserve over a thousand years of history for future generations.

News from The Abbey at Milton
What an amazing experience. It was a sheer delight to experience the wonderful melodious & resonant sound of song from a substantial choir in Milton Abbey for The Big Sing.
Works have now been completed on the renovation of the North Aisle tiled floor. This vital work is needed due to significant water ingress from the roof.
