COVID-19 coronavirus

In light of the updated Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have announced that public worship is suspended until further notice and churchbuildings will remain closed.  Prayers will continue to be said daily by our clergy on behalf of everyone in the community and although the buildings are closed our churches are still there to minister and serve, and to offer practical support.

Please do read Tim's April 'Thought for the month' and the letter from our Bishops Peter and Ruth and listen to the message from Bishop Ruth.

How to find us

We are in the centre of Axbridge overlooking the north east side of the town square.

The Church Steps
The Square
Axbridge
BS26 2AP

Tel: 01934 732261

email: churchoffice@uwclub.net
 

A gently sloping walkway at the top of the steps from The Square provides level access to Axbridge Church.  Access without steps is available from Church Lane (off St Mary's Street but this is quite steep), Back Lane and Chestnut Avenue.  See the map for details.
 
The Church Rooms are opposite the church entrance, a few steps down from the top of the steps from The Square.  There is level access from the public highway to the Church Rooms but note that the 'highway' in this case is The Church Steps.  
 
There is limited 1 hour parking in The Square; note that this is regularly patrolled, including on Sunday.  There are two car parks, in Old Church Road and Moorland Street, signposted from The Square.
