Landford: St Andrew

St Laurence Church, Downton

Welcome to St Laurence Church, at the heart of the parish of Downton, just six miles south of the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury.

Our church is here for everyone, in times of happiness, trouble and spiritual need, and for the support of individuals and the Downton community. You will always find a warm welcome here - and we hope that you will find out!

We recognise that everyone has different was of worship, and we have a variety of services from quiet and traditional, to our more informal Café-style Church, and All Age Worship.

We are very proud of our strong musical tradition, with our regular choir, organ and bell ringers. We hold a Sunday School in our small room at the back of church for school-aged children.

We host regular events, catering to a wider audience, including an annual Jazz concert in the church yard, our Goose Fair at Michaelmas, and Downton Band also hold regular concerts.

Our church is open daily during daylight hours for private prayer and for visitors. Please do take the opportunity to visit us, explore our historic surroundings, and join us as we pray together for the life and wellbeing of our local communities, and the wider world.

With love,

Veronica

Revd. Veronica Batchelor

Bramshaw St Peter's

Welcome to St Peter's Church, Bramshaw! Our little church on the hill is here for everyone, and especially the people from the villages and areas around Bramshaw, Brook, Nomansland, Fritham and Penn Common. Parts of the building date from the 13th century, but our Church is much more than a building.

Our friendly Church congregation looks forward to welcoming you to any service- please stay for coffee afterwards-only if you would like to- as we would love to get to know you better.

Our services are at 9.30am every Sunday except the fourth in the month when we have a 30 minute time of Quiet Reflection followed by coffee, or if silence doesn’t appeal, encourage people to visit other local churches.

Our services are fairly 'traditional' and usually involve Communion, except for the second Sunday each month. Families and young children are very welcome to join us. People are more than welcome to come and go as they please during a service!

God is Love. We believe we are here to serve our community. We take regular food collections to the Romsey foodbank and hold one-off charity events such as a Good Friday coffee morning and Harvest Supper.

If you would like to join us, if you think we might be able to help you in some way, or if you are simply curious, we would love to hear from you or see you on a Sunday morning. Or contact our rector, David Bacon via the ‘Contact Us’ section of this website.
