St Catherine's, Swell

All are welcome at St Catherine's, Swell in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. We worship the Lord God according to the Book of Common Prayer (1662) in the words of Archbishop Cranmer and the hymns we have always sung. We are a member of the Prayer Book Society. We are a nearly zero carbon church lit only by candlelight, but our welcome is warm. Please come and find us, tucked away in the farmyard of a mediaeval manor house. Our church is listed by Simon Jenkins in his book, "England's 1000 best churches" and by Historic England, as Grade 1.
