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.
