The church, dedicated to St John the Baptist has a loyal congregation though off the beaten track it is a wonderful place, once discovered, to sit, pray and think in the silence of the countryside.
The village of Skilgate, set in the Brendon Hills, is a small supportive rural community, and like the other parishes in this benefice, has farming at its heart.
