“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength… Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these”.
St Stephen's Church is the oldest of the two churches in the parish of Charlton Musgrove. There are various estimates for the age of the church but it definitely existed at the time of the founding in Stavordale Priory in the thirteenth century.
The church is much loved by the village and a small but committed group of Christians worship there and keep it open to welcome visitors.
Why not come into the cool silence and linger before God for a while? The ancient stones hold the prayers and thanksgiving of all the people who have loved God over the past seven hundred years.

The original ancient parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, was built in the early thirteenth century and located to the north of the manor house in Stoke village. It was demolished c. 1841 because of its dilapidated condition, small size, and inconvenient site and was replaced by the present building. It serves the villages of Stoke Trister and Bayford.
Set in a beautiful location, it is greatly loved by the people of the surrounding area. A small group of Christians meet there regularly to worship God and pray for the villages.
