All are welcome at Bishops Caundle Church. Known simply as 'Bishops Caundle Parish Church', serving the community of Bishops Caundle, making Jesus known. We enjoy a close working partnership with our nearest CE primary school.

This has been a site of Christian worship for at least 800 years although the present church building mostly dates from the 14th and 15th centuries.

Set on the main A3030 through the village centre, the parish church has no dedication. Services are held monthly. The church has good links with the village’s All Saints Primary School, which serves many villages in the surrounding area and operates a weekly Forest School Toddler Group. Good facilities are available at the nearby well-equipped village hall. Here parishioners support various activities, including a musical Big Bash, a monthly Fair Trade Café, and the Harvest Supper, as well as Short Mat Bowls and Badminton. The village also has a pub and a shop owned and run by the community, open daily, with an outreach Post Office available on two afternoons a week.

The church consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle, north porch and three-stage west tower which is Perpendicular in style with elements of Somerset tracery. It has a peal of five bells which are regularly rung. The earliest parts of the present building date from the 14th century and are the east wall of the nave and south aisle and the eastern part of its south wall. The nave, west tower and the remainder of the south aisle date from the second half of the 15th century. The north wall of the nave, the south wall of the south aisle, the north porch and most of the chancel were all rebuilt in 1864 when the church was extensively restored by William Slater. The roofs of the chancel, nave and tower were also renewed, a gallery was removed, and a new ringing floor fitted to the tower, while the church interior was repaved, re-floored, and the pews fitted from earlier box-pews.
