St Barnabas Anglican Church is in the beautiful village of Queen Camel. The 14th century building is outstanding and can be approached along the cobbled Church Path. A leaflet giving the history of the Church is available inside which includes details of our bells, the heaviest peal of six in the world!
We hold both traditional and informal acts of worship. Camel Club is a thriving children’s group which meets during term time on Thursday afternoons after school for those of primary school age and contributes enthusiastically to our monthly All Age service. The church is also involved in hosting a Village Café in the Memorial Hall on the second Tuesday of every month. “Bumps, Tots and Toddlers” for young children and their parents/carers meets every Wednesday morning in the Memorial Hall (winter months) and church (summer months) and “Camel Cares” provides a network of support for those who might need that extra bit of help at difficult times. We also have a church allotment scheme and the church is a past winner of the Church Times Green Church Award for action in the community. Camel Club also considers environmental issues, particularly in relation to the churchyard.

The parish of Queen Camel is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer. The benefice website "CamVale Benefice.org.uk"and Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA.
