All Saints, Turkdean

All Saints, Turkdean is open daily between 9am and 5pm (or dusk if earlier in Winter) for everyone to enjoy this beautiful and peaceful 12th Century Norman church which serves our small rural Parish of just some 60 souls in the heart of the rolling Cotswold countryside.

A traditional BCP service of Matins with Holy Communion is held at 10:30am on the second Sunday every month with the invaluable support of the Turkdean Choir.

More ambitious occasional choral services including Monteverdi's Messa a quattro voci (SV190), Palestrina's Missa æterna Christi munera. Byrd's Short Service and Byrd's Mass for Four Voices (1592) were celebrated during 2023 in recognition of the composer's 400th anniversary year. We will celebrate the installation of our new infra-red heating system in the Nave with a Choral Evensong at 6:30pm on Sunday 17th November, led by the ever-ebullient Revd Nick Scott and with the Turkdean Choir under the direction of Dominic Hamilton and with the assistance of Steve Winwood and Theo Mountford on the organ. It looks set to be quite the night!

We offer refreshments in the Nave after our services and all are most welcome.

The church bells were dismounted for restoration in March 2023 and, following their repair, they were successfully rehung on a strengthened bell-frame in August 2023 and now ring out in full voice once again for the first time for 70 years.

After a successful funding appeal a new and highly efficient infra-red heating system was installed in the Nave in October 2024 allowing us to heat our congregation without having to heat the significant surrounding volume, producing both warmer congregants and a significant contribution to the Church's NetZero energy targets.
