The Blessed Virgin Mary, Brompton Regis
The parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is at the heart of the village of Brompton Regis, in the south east corner of the Exmoor National Park. It dates from Norman times and was built by monks from a nearby Cistercian Abbey. Details of its history - including restoration of our historic organ in 2014 and more recently a major repair and conservation project on the 13th c. tower - can be found on the village website, www.bromptonregis.com . We are part of the Dulverton benefice of six churches. The small and very rural church of St Mary Magdalene at Withiel Florey is an associated chapel, governed by the same PCC as Brompton Regis.

St Mary Magdalene, Withiel Florey
The beautiful hamlet of Withiel Florey has only a handful of residents, and yet, each month anywhere from 12 to 25 people gather in this beautiful little church for worship. The church sits in a small plot of land amongst farm buildings and to find it takes perseverance, but you will not be disappointed when you do.
