St Matthew's, Wookey

Welcome to our page on A Church Near You!

St Matthew's Church is a beautiful church in the village of Wookey, near Wells. We are part of a group of 3 churches and 4 parishes, known as a benefice, which are looked after by Revd Jan Shellard-James.

There are services almost every Sunday, except during some months on the third Sunday of the month. Also if there is a 5th Sunday in a month, a service might take place at a different church in the benefice. There is also a weekly Holy Communion service which is held every Wednesday. You are very welcome to come to any of our services or events, and details of these can be found on this website, or on our own website www.chwchurches.co.uk There are also more details about the this church and the benefice on our website.

If you have any enquiries about baptisms, christenings, weddings, funerals or memorials please get in touch with us.

We look forward to welcoming you to our church!

Wookey Church is collaborating with Somerset Wildlife Trust to create a sanctury for people and wildlife. This is one of a number of similar projects taking part across the Bath and Wells area, with communities taking action for nature, and is known as Wilder Churches. This project is just getting started in Wookey, in St Matthew's Churchyard, and all of the community is invited to get involved! We're keen to hear your thoughts and ideas. You can help plant wildflowers, make a bird box, make bird feeders, rejuvenate the bug hotel, have fun with a treasure hunt and find out more about this project! Refreshments will be provided, and people with greenfingers are invited to bring their tools with them to help tidy up the churchyard while maintaining a thriving place for wildlife.
