St James
Cameley, Somerset
Somerset's 'Sleeping Beauty'.
Recent reordering has given the church modern facilities and now enables us to host concerts and a monthly Community Cafe for the village. St Mary’s has therefore become a vibrant centre for the community to come together, and given the church a new lease of life!
A newly formed Bell Ringing Group has brought the tower alive and now rings the bells regularly. We have three services here a month and you’ll be made very welcome whether visitor or regular.
Architecturally, the church possibly has 13th century origins, the 15th century nave was rebuilt in 1848and much remodelled 1889 and 1897, particularly interior. The structure is mainly limestone and sandstone rubble, with the tower in coursed rubble with a limestone ashlar parapet. There is lots to look at inside, and some notes to guide you around.
Why not come and look around in a morning on the 2nd Saturday of the month, then you will be able to have a cup of coffee or tea and refreshments while you look.
