Marvin Collins,

Red Brick Cottage,

Lufton,

Yeovil.

Lufton as a community has existed since before Roman times. The area is rich in archaeology, and Lufton Roman Villa is nationally important, containing an elaborate bath complex, hypocausts, and mosaic flooring. The original church dated from at least Norman times, but was comprehensively rebuilt in 1865 by Benjamin Ferrey, Diocesan Architect. The medieval village has been lost, possibly as a result of the Black Death, and the present community was very small, consisting of a few cottages, the Edwardian Manor House and Manor Farm, both now occupied by Lufton College.

However, with the westward expansion of Yeovil, there is a massive area of new housing development in the parish, most of which has now been built and is occupied, with a few houses still in course of building. There is also a new Primary School, which opened in September of 2018, and called 'Kingfisher' School. It contains a Community Room, and it was the dream of a much-loved previous Rector, to see a school built on this site.

All this development gives the Church enormous opportunities for engaging with our new community, and over the last twenty years we have been praying and working hard that we may use this opportunity that God has opened to us, to His Honour and for His Name.

Please pray for us as we try and discern what is God's will for us, and the work he is giving us to do in the parish.

Your comments and feed-back would be most welcome. Please feel free to contact us. We promise to reply within 36 hours.

'Phone calls will be returned, if they are not answered immediately.
