Ramsbury: Holy Cross
Thank you for looking us up! Holy Cross, Ramsbury is one of six churches in the parish of Whitton. Building on a thousand years of history, we treasure the faith which has encouraged generations across the centuries, and we strive to be the Church of today. In many ways we are a traditional village church, with worship of a predominantly traditional (but not 'high') nature.
We are extremely grateful to "The Friends of Holy Cross" who support us with grants towards major works in our Church and Churchyards.
We serve our community in a number of ways and support our village primary school.
We are looking to build up a network of young families, especially to nurture those who have been baptised at Holy Cross in recent times.
Home groups and prayer groups take place in Ramsbury, often shared with those from our churches in neighbouring villages.
We would love the opportunity to welcome you in person (or on Zoom!)

Axford: St Michael
St. Michael's Axford has traditionally been part of a joint parish with Holy Cross, Ramsbury. Today both are part of the extended parish of Whitton, but Axford and Ramsbury remain very much connected and are served by the same Local Church Committee (a sub-committee of the Parochial Church Council). St. Michael's is a Chapel of Ease rather than a Parish Church, and generally is only open for worship at the major festivals. It is also used for occasional concerts and can be requested for baptisms and funerals. We would love to see more engagement with the village. If you are new to Axford please get in touch so that we can get to know you.
