St Philip and St James

Escot church community is small, quite elderly and very friendly. We usually hold two services a month - one Holy Communion and one BCP Evensong - with usual attendances between 8 and 15. We are renowned for our fundraising both for ourselves and more importantly for other charities, the latter through winter soup lunches where we expect to cater for between 30 and 70 people. Escot Church is a ‘chapel of ease’ within the parish of Feniton with Escot.
