St Nicholas Church , Abbotsbury

St Nicholas Church is open during daylight hours to welcome the weary traveller. Do come in, rest awhile and and enjoy the surroundings of the Grade 1 listed church.

St.Nicholas dates from the late 14thcentury or early 15thcentury and was built as the parish church, alongside the Abbey Church of St Peter. The only remains of the Abbey are a wall to the south of the church, and St Catherine’s chapel about a mile away.

A calendar of services can bee viewed on the site, you are welcome to join us for worship.

A celebration of love

Come to LaTCH on 30th March for coffee, croissants and a variety of crafty activities for families, followed by an informal service that starts at 10.30am.

We’ll have a guest speaker, Helen Horsley formerly of Homestart, and lively music led by the specially formed band!
While the 30th March is Mothering Sunday, this special service aims to recognise love in all it’s forms - whether that is the love of a mother and child, someone who takes a mothering role or remembers others with love.
