English Heritage sites near Wrington Parish

Stanton Drew Circles and Cove

STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE

7 miles from Wrington Parish

Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.

All Saints

Station Road Wrington Bristol

All Saints', Wrington recently welcomed our new Rector, the Revd David Gent, and his wife Janet.   All Saints' is part of the Benefice of Wrington with Redhill, Butcombe and Burrington.  The church is usually open between the hours of 8.00am and dusk.  All Saints' welcomes all visitors.

Christ Church

Church Road Redhill Bristol
01761 462 582

We are a small (about 20 on a Sunday morning) but faithful and happy congregation, who delight to welcome all visitors and newcomers to the area. Most come from the village of Redhill and its surounding farms, but some from further afield, those who had a connection with Redhill in years past or just dropped in one day and liked what they found. Our worship is simple and honest, and to be enjoyed. We have a mission of witness, hospitality and care for all. In a typical week we have a Communion Service on the Sunday morning (please see calendar for times) and Morning Prayer on Thursday at 9am. We also have a children's church 'Story Time' that meets on the 4th Sunday of each month at 4pm. And on 4th Wednesday of each month we have an open-house for all to enjoy refreshments together. However, behind these lie a host of activities through which we seek to live God's Kingdom, here for all.

Christ Church Redhill was built as a Chapel of Ease within the Parish of All Saints Wrington. We are in Benefice with Holy Trinity Burrington and St Michael and All Angels Butcombe. Many of our activities are shared with these other churches.

Our church building was built in 1843, with the villagers bearing the cost. Still today, the villagers continue to keep our church in excellent condition. Inside it has a simple beauty and an atmosphere of peace and serenity. The churchyard too is a place of tranquility. It is open every day for all who may wish to enjoy this pleasant corner of God's creation.
