St Mary’s Chilthorne Domer

St Mary’s in Chilthorne Domer was built late in the 13th Century and is a great example of a farming village’s church. Its early associations were with Bruton Priory. The church has an unusual belfry at the West end with two bells, and has a 17th Century pulpit. It also has an elaborate carved reredos behind the altar. On the north wall of the sanctuary is a carved effigy of a knight, probably Sir William de Domer from the early fourteenth century.

We are open each day for visitors who may wish to drop in , soak up the peace and spend some time with God. At this time we hold 1 Holy Communion service each month and on alternate months we have a Family service – full details of all services and events can be found on this web site.

Our village Church primary school is a real gem and we work closely with the children and staff through the year. Each week we host a community coffee morning in the village hall when the mobile Post Office visits (come along for a cuppa and a chat even if you don’t need any stamps).
