Cattistock is one of the larger villages in the team, with a thriving ‘Best Local Pub’, some rural industries and small businesses. There is a good mix of old local families and newcomers, with an increasing number of young families.

St Peter and St Paul Church is a truly magnificent Church building that is visible from miles around. It has a small and very supportive regular congregation; alongside a very large group of ‘Friends’ that greatly appreciate the building and help support it in many ways.

There are a good range of services throughout the year including; Patronal, Praise in the Park, Harvest Festival with lunch, Remembrance Day, Christingle, a Carol Service, as well as Carol Singing around the village. It is a popular wedding venue with 10 marriages in the last 18 months.

This Church part of the Melbury team benefice. For further information about our church services, news and events, please visit Maiden Newton Church:
