About Us

Cold Ashton is a rural/commuter village, set in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the southern edge of the Cotswold escarpment.  The Cotswold Way footpath passes through the Churchyard of Holy Trinity Church and continues through much of the parish.  The parish is made up of several scattered hamlets principally Pennsylvania, Nimlet, part of St Catherine's and Hamswell.

There has been a Church on the present site for almost 900 years, but it was substantially rebuilt in the early/mid 1500's with a capacity of about 100.  The church is open during daylight hours and is enjoyed by many visitors, especially the Cotswold Way walkers.  

Services are held on first and third Sunday of the month.  The service on the 3rd Sunday in the month is a 4.00pm family friendly service with songs and craft activity.  It is followed by tea.  There is a mixture of Common Worship and Book of Common Prayer services in this church. The church is open during the day and regularly welcomes visitors from city churches who come to pray and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.  Walkers on the Cotswold Way are always welcome to visit this Grade 1 listed building.
