All Saints's Church in Wotton Underwood is a member of the Bernwode Benefice.
Wotton Underwood is a tranquil village nestling at the bottom of Ashendon and Brill hills. There are about 55 households, with a population of 140 souls, mainly adults covering a broad variety of occupations. The homes are scattered across a wide area and are only reached by driveways or narrow roads. This makes Wotton Underwood pretty unusual in that you cannot drive through it!
The Church is to be found at the end of one of these narrow
roads. It was built in the early 14th
century although traces of a 12th century building are still in
evidence. It is very much the focal point of the
village, particularly as there is no longer a village hall or a school.
With the easing of COVID restrictions, we have resumed our normal rota of two services a month: Holy Communion and Morning Prayer, both according to the Book of Common Prayer.
