"A haven of peace at the heart of the community"
We are a traditional, rural village Church located in the heart of the Somerset Levels. Church life is well supported by an active team of volunteers. Services are held every Sunday and whether you live locally or are a visitor to the area you will be given a warm welcome.
The earliest mention of a church in Chedzoy was in 1166, but it was probably founded many years prior to this. It is a Grade 1 listed building with some fine bench ends and is definitely worth a visit.
