SIR BEVIL GRENVILLE'S MONUMENT
4 miles from Oldland Parish
Erected to commemorate the heroism of a Royalist commander and his Cornish pikemen at the Battle of Lansdown, 1643, this monument marks the spot where he fell.
TEMPLE CHURCH
4 miles from Oldland Parish
The 'leaning tower' and walls of this large late medieval church survived bombing during the Second World War. The graveyard is now a peaceful public garden.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
7 miles from Oldland Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
STONEY LITTLETON LONG BARROW
10 miles from Oldland Parish
One of the finest accessible examples of a Neolithic chambered tomb, with its multiple burial chambers open to view. Bring a torch and experience the burial chambers at first hand.

A spectacular 14th century monastic stone barn, 51 metres (168 feet) long, with an amazing timber cruck roof. Originally a part of the medieval farmstead belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey.

Impressive 14th century castle with hidden treasures and sinister past. Chapel with rare medieval wall paintings and in the crypt, the best collection of human-shaped lead coffins in Britain.

We are a family church with something to offer every generation from kids clubs to Mens groups. Our services reflect the diversity of our congregation so expect to find an organ and a choir one week and guitars and drums at the next service.
Our aim is to love God honouring him in everything, to follow Jesus living our lives for him daily, and to serve other sharing the Good News in word and action.
We would love you to come and visit, be our guest and feel the warmth of our church family.
