About Us

The parish of West Quantoxhead lies on the northern slopes of the Quantock Hills, approximately ¾ mile from the Bristol Channel.  It sits on the A39 road from Bridgwater to Minehead, just 2 miles  from Williton which has a full range of shops, banks, Post Office, etc.

In West Quantoxhead we have a shop and petrol station, a pub, a village hall, a wedding centre and there are two holiday parks nearby.  We have a population of approximately 300, most of whom are retired.

The parish church of St. Etheldreda (also known as St. Audries) is situated on the outskirts of the village, close to the village hall. We are also situated at the gateway to St Audries Park Wedding Venue (formerly the Manor House), and many couples enjoy holding their marriage ceremony in our beautiful church, whilst being based at the Wedding Centre for other aspects of their wedding celebrations. Please see our Weddings page for further details.

St. Audries runs a monthly community coffee morning in the village hall and produces a free monthly newsletter.

 Our Rector is based in the nearby village of Bicknoller, and we are a part of the Quantock Towers Benefice of churches.
