Find a church

Beautifully updated ancient church.

Hidden in the hills only four miles north and slightly west of the ancient city of Bath, the village of Woolley dates back to Saxon times and a visit to this most tranquil hamlet is a most uplifting experience.

Abergavenny parish church was founded in the late 11th century as the church of a Benedictine priory. It is the only part to survive, apart from the later tithe barn.

This ancient 13th century church, on the slopes of Mynydd Llanfihangel Rhos Y Corn with its bronze age barrows, has settled into a small hollow and is surrounded by beautiful scenery.

The church is unusual in its long history in that it has been served by members of two religious orders: the Franciscans (1687-1857) and the Benedictines (1857-present).

Medieval wall paintings and tomb carvings in a church which has completely escaped modernisation.

Our tiny 12th century church nestles on the edge of the most beautiful valley on the southern edge of the Cotswolds.
