Bishop's Caundle Parish Church
All are welcome at Bishop's Caundle Church.
This has been a site of Christian worship for at least 800 years although the present church building mostly dates from the 14th and 15th centuries.
The church consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle, north porch and three-stage west tower which is Perpendicular in style with elements of Somerset tracery. It has a peal of five bells which are regularly rung. The earliest parts of the present building date from the 14th century and are the east wall of the nave and south aisle and the eastern part of its south wall. The nave, west tower and the remainder of the south aisle date from the second half of the 15th century. The north wall of the nave, the south wall of the south aisle, the north porch and most of the chancel were all rebuilt in 1864 when the church was extensively restored by William Slater. The roofs of the chancel, nave and tower were also renewed, a gallery was removed, and a new ringing floor fitted to the tower, while the church interior was repaved, re-floored, and the pews fitted from earlier box-pews.
Known simply as 'Bishop's Caundle Parish Church', serving the community of Bishop's Caundle, making Jesus known. We enjoy a close working partnership with our nearest CE primary school
All are welcome.

Holnest: Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
We are a friendly church. We are open daily for friends old and new. Here since the 15th century. Our church community is in the main drawn from our own small parish together with regular worshippers from neighbouring parishes. The church volunteers organise many social events in the local community both for fund raising purposes and more importantly to eliminate social isolation and find out what people really want from their church. We have recently received a huge amount of support to enable the completion of a programme of repair and restoration work to the church costing in the region of £125,000 for which we are extremely grateful. We are always looking to grow our congregations at our monthly evening services of evening prayer or holy communion or our regular themed songs of praise services with a variety of readings and to welcome people in to our church social community . The Church is grade 1 listed with many unique features including boxed pews, Jacobean pulpit, 13th century font and rare candle sconces.
"The parish of Holnest: Church of the Assumption is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults.
