PLOUGH Sunday is an occasion to celebrate rural life and an opportunity to thank God for all those who care for the land. Traditionally this service prays a blessing on all the tools of our work (as symbolised by the plough), the land and those that worked upon it.
Please come along and share this special day to think about and thank those who work on the land, produce food in this and other communities, and maintain the beauty of our local countryside.

There’s parking at Puncknowle Manor Farm - just follow the signs - and there will be refreshments too.
Everyone is welcome! Please bring your friends and family.

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.
