All Saints, Turkdean

All Saints, Turkdean is open daily between 9am and 5pm (or dusk if earlier in Winter) for everyone to enjoy this beautiful and peaceful 12th Century Norman church which serves our small rural Parish of just some 60 souls in the heart of the rolling Cotswold countryside.

A traditional BCP service of Matins with Holy Communion is held at 10:30am on the second Sunday every month with the invaluable support of the Turkdean Choir.

More ambitious occasional choral services including Monteverdi's Messa a quattro voci (SV190), Palestrina's Missa æterna Christi munera. Byrd's Short Service and Byrd's Mass for Four Voices (1592) were celebrated during 2023 in recognition of the composer's 400th anniversary year.

We offer refreshments in the Nave after our services and all are most welcome.

The church bells were dismounted for restoration in March 2023 and, following their repair, they were successfully rehung on a strengthened bell-frame in August 2023 and now ring out in full voice once again for the first time for 70 years.
