The Blessed Virgin Mary & St Peter
St Mary and St Peter has been the church for Winford since the 1500s, though inside you can see the 'beautification' done in the 1800s. Do look up to admire our roof decoration and the cherubs! We serve the village for weddings, baptisms and funerals, special services, and have strong connections with Winford School.
The church is partway through restoration of the walls. Phase 1 is complete; the old plaster has been removed and new plaster applied, and we are now waiting for the walls to dry enough to be able to apply the top coat and repaint. We hope this will take place in late 2024 or early 2025.

St Andrew
OPEN EVERY DAY
St Andrew's is a 15th Century church and like many it underwent extensive renovation in 1860s when the interior was decorated with 156 angels in wood and stone. In 2013 modern facilities were added to provide more flexible community use. In the tower hang bells cast by the local Bilbie family, still rung regularly by the local band. We have a very strong link with Chew Stoke Church School who visit regularly. We'd love to see you at any services or events.

The Blessed Virgin Mary
St Mary's is another hidden gem of a church, the only one in the group with a steeple, topped by a golden weather vane. Set in the heart of the countryside among the fields, it is a real rural retreat. The church is supported by an enthusiastic group of parishioners and you will find a very warm welcome inside this wonderful building.
