All Saints is a small friendly village church where visitors are always welcome. Services are usually at 10 am and there is a regular pattern of the first Sunday of the month being Holy Communion, Common Worship, the second Sunday, Matins with our LLM, the third Sunday, Parish Communion when the vicar usually officiates, the fourth Sunday is BCP Communion and if there is a fifth Sunday it is either a DIY service or BCP Communion. This pattern is occasionally altered when there is a benefice service and on special occassions such as Plough Sunday, Rogationtide, Mothering Sunday, Harvest, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas. Apart from these special services we usually only have hymns on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Sundays in the month.
All Saints is in an AONB between Stourhead and Longleat and is in a lovely area for walking and cycling. We are happy to give guided tours of the church and village to groups and individuals. The village shop and the Somerset Arms cater for visitors with the Somerset Arms and the White Hart both offering excellent B&B.
The church adjoins Bradley House, home of the Duke of Somerset and a wedding venue. The church partners with the house in hosting weddings.
