Address

This is an advance notice of a significant event that will be happening in the Benefice in the Autumn and New Year. We will holding an Alpha Course in Cheddar Village Hall. An Alpha Course, which you may have already heard of, is an opportunity to explore the basics of our Christian faith. It is a tried and tested course having been held in many places in this country and around the world.

This is an opportunity for our church members to bring friends who would like to know more about our faith and indeed anyone who is interested.
We will be meeting on Sunday evenings, with 6 sessions starting on 1st November and then 5 further sessions from 10th January. The sessions in January will include a Saturday away day at Bagley Baptist church. Each session will start with a meal, followed by a film on the subject for the evening and then opportunity for discussion.

There will be further details in September but in the meantime please note the dates, consider joining the course and bringing a friend. Above all we need to be praying for all aspects of this venture.

St Leonard's Church, Rodney Stoke

Welcome to our page!  We hope you can find all you need, but if there is anything else please get in touch.


St Leonard's is a Grade One, small, medieval church situated at the western end of the village. The church was first built in the 12th century and has been added to over the centuries.

It has many visitors throughout the year, some of whom come from overseas. The church has some remarkable features inside. Most notably are the four monuments to the Rodney family in the chapel built in the 15th century. The pews in the nave, which seat about 80 people, have beautiful bench ends originally carved by the villagers. One of the stained glass windows, which has been recently restored, commemorates the safe return of the men and women who took part in the First World War and is known as the Thanksgiving Window.
