Beautiful 14th century Grade II* building in the small Somerset village of Babcary.

The building history is complex; built as a plain chapel of ease to St Andrew Holborn at the beginning of the 18th century.

The history of St Patrick’s is, shall we say, colourful.

This Grade I cruciform church is mainly 14th century although the windows are Perpendicular and the tower 16th century.

An unexpected oasis.

The church dates back to 1130, it also has connections with Lewis Carroll.

Consecrated in 1686 by Bishop Henry Compton (after whom Old Compton St is named) the original church was designed by William Talman, who worked under Sir Christopher Wren. In December 2016 our redesigned entrance, featuring our name in neon lights, was dedicated by the Bishop of London to ensure the church remains a visible presence in the community it serves.

The church stands high on the hillside above the Avon meadows.

Situated in the valley beside the river Nadder, there has been a church here serving as a centre for Christian worship for at least a thousand years and it is believed that the first church may have been built soon after the founding of Shaftesbury Abbey in about 875.

Outstandingly rich, colourful and layered with history, the chapel’s vaulted ceiling was installed by Henry VIII in the 1530s and is the grand culmination of Tudor opulence at Hampton Court.

St George's Bloomsbury, the work of Nicholas Hawksmoor, is one of the finest Baroque churches in London and indeed has been described as ‘one of the capital’s most wonderful buildings’.

St James’s church, built by Sir Christopher Wren, was consecrated in 1684, towards the end of the most turbulent century in England’s religious history.
