Find a church

The church of St Michael in Mere is one of the finest parish churches in Wiltshire, with a wealth of historic features to delight even the most casual visitor.

Dates back to medieval times and stands on high ground beside Nynehead Court (once the family seat of the de Wyke and then Sanford families), from the church tower there are panoramic views of the Blackdown Hills to the south and the Brendan and Quantock hills to the north.

The church stands among the trees on the bank of the River Frome, beyond are peaceful meadows and the rush of the water.

The village is small and modest; its church is large and sumptuous.

St Mary's was built by the nearby abbey (of which the gatehouse remains at the top of the village street).

St Candida and Holy Cross is dedicated to St Wite, a mysterious local saint and holy woman.

A beautiful Italian style church, revealing a history of the Catholic martyrs.
