Welcome to the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul Over Stowey, a traditional village church and a place of worship for over a thousand years. Services are held here every Sunday, with coffee and refreshments offered after the 9.30am services. Our worship is drawn equally from the book of common prayer, and more contemporary liturgies. All visitors are warmly welcomed at our services.
The church is open every day. We invite you to stay, rest a while, soak up the atmosphere and if you wish, leave requests for prayer.
If you love old buildings and have an interest in history, there are many notable features to enjoy, including Burne-Jones windows, mediaeval bench ends, a magnificent brass candelabrum and a fine set of six bells.
Our parish of Over Stowey is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (Read more about contacting the Safeguarding Team below). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
