St Philip and St James is one of 5 Churches in the team ministry. The others are St. Bartholomew (Corsham), St. Cyriac (Lacock), St. Anne (Bowden Hill),and St. John the Baptist (Gastard)
Construction of St Philip and St James’ Church started in 1866, shortly after the adjacent school had opened.
In 1985 a long-awaited scheme to adapt the building for modern needs was finally undertaken (records show that the scheme had first been formally discussed in 1972!), resulting in internal reordering to create a vestibule, kitchen and cloakroom, choir vestry, and a large upstairs meeting room.
Our parish of Corsham 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 Bristol’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: See https://greatercorshamchurches.org.uk/safeguarding/parish-safeguarding-details or contact the Diocesan Safeguarding advisor at [email protected]. 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.
