A medieval church with facilities, open daily and welcoming everybody whether local or visiting historic places, in the heart of a lovely Exmoor village with a pub and fantastic local walks.
Timberscombe, Somerset
A tranquil and sacred space with lots of heart in a 15th century church with some parts dating even earlier.
Lots to enjoy including a rare vaulted wooden rood screen and loft, Jacobean pulpit, restored wall paintings, and a piscina dating from 1400s. A peal of 8 bells, unusual in a small country church, is practised and rung weekly. The churchyard cross dates from 1300s and the churchyard yew tree is notable, more than 440 years old.
Complete church records are available and accessible on heritage days held annually. Brochures are available to describe all the major features. A lovely village pub The Lion, serves drinks and occasional food only a few steps away.
This is a walkers paradise and an accessible toilet and a servery in the church means visitors can rest and reflect on their visit. Every Thursday in school term-time a Warm Welcome is held between 10am and 12 noon where hot drinks, home made cakes and good company are all available at no charge. Do drop in!

Mae gwaith y pensaer John Coates Carter yn gyfrinach sydd wedi ei chadw’n ddiogel. Mae ei adeiladau’n ymgorffori y Mudiad Celfyddyd a Chrefft ar ddechrau’r ugeinfed ganrif – a dywedir bod eglwys St Paul ymhlith y gorau o’i eglwysi cynnar sydd wedi goroesi.

Anaml iawn y gwelwch yng Nghymru eglwys sydd â chladin pren gwyn – ac mae gan yr Eglwys Norwyaidd stori unigryw i’w hadrodd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad ag un o hoff awduron plant y byd: Roald Dahl.

Adeiladwyd yr eglwys hon yn 1883-6 gan y pensaer J Prichard. Ei fwriad gwreiddiol oedd adeiladu eglwys ar ffurf croes, ond daeth yn amlwg bod hyn yn rhy uchelgeisiol - ac adeiladwyd tair cilfach cyntaf corff yr eglwys yn unig.
