St. Mary's Frampton is quite large for a country church and has an unusual internal layout. There is evidence through the centuries of building and rebuilding. The south arcade to the nave and the chancel arch are 15th Century. Points of note are the unusual tower with Tuscan columns, built in 1695 by Robert Browne, who also added the North Aisle and the Vestry between 1725 and 1734. The present structure that we see is mostly of 19th Century restoration by Marcia Maria and Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
Our clergy team currently support four churches within the benefice and therefore our family service rotates around the four villages of Sydling St. Nicholas, Stratton, Bradford Peverell and Frampton. This provides a good opportunity for people from all four villages to get together on a regular basis.

Sunday
This intimate and contemplative service follows Common Worship rites. Everyone is welcome whether taking part in the Eurcharist or not. The service is followed by tea, coffee and biscuits.
Every first and third Sunday at 10:30 AM for 50 minutes
This service is suitable for families and newcomers, but is not restricted to these groups - everyone is welcome and the service is less formal than, for example, morning prayer. It is a good place to meet new people or old friends. The sermon is in the form of a talk using plain English. Music for hymns and songs is provided by guitars and electronic keyboard and gives an opportunity for children to express themselves! Members of the congregation lead prayers and readings. Tea/Coffee/Squash and biscuits are provided after the service.
Every second Sunday at 10:30 AM for 50 minutes
Traditional service of Evening Prayer using the Book of Common Prayer. A quiet service which, during the summer months, takes place beneath the dying rays of the sun streaming through the west window.
Every fourth Sunday at 6:30 PM for 40 minutes
