About Us

The church is in a peaceful rural setting at the eastern end of Wonston village, off the road to Stoke Charity and Micheldever and close to the River Dever. In its churchyard are buried the ancestors of many families who have lived and worked here over hundreds of years.

The church is open every day for quiet prayer and reflection and a service is held here practically every Sunday throughout the year. The usual pattern of services is shown on our website and everyone is welcome at all these services. If you are not a regular churchgoer, you don’t need to worry about what to do at the services as the clergy and worship leaders will always try to make the services easy to follow.Coffee and biscuits are also served after some of the services and this is an ideal opportunity for making new friends and renewing old friendships.

Wonston church is part of the Dever Benefice. If the service at Wonston is not at the time when you wish to go to church, or you simply want to experience a different type of service, there is generally a wide choice available in the Dever Benefice each Sunday. Forthcoming services in Holy Trinity Wonston are listed on the Services page and a full listing of services in the Dever Benefice are listed each month in The West Dever News, copies of which are available from Holy Trinity Wonston.

A monthly Holy Communion service is also held at Sutton Manor Nursing Home for those residents who are not able to come to church.

There are 2 primary schools within the area served by the Dever Benefice  a Church of England school at Micheldever and a the County Primary at South Wonston which shares the same site as St Margaret’s Church. The clergy are increasingly involved with activities at the schools.

Wonston church has a fine set of bells which are rung for special services. However we are always looking for new members to join the bell-ringing team so that we can ring every Sunday too! If you are interested in exploring the art of Bell Ringing please look at the Bell Ringing page for details.

One of the highlights of the social life of the parish is the annual church fete held in July.
