We are in South East Somerset: this is our news page; next pages have details about our prayers, our organ and the buildings.

Welcome to all our new residents at lufton!

If you have recently moved to our Parish, we hope that you will soon make new friends and that you will be very happy in your new home.

We would love to welcome you to our church. We are open most days, all day. If you are walking past down the lane, or across the footpaths, why not pop in and help yourself to a cold drink? Or just enjoy the peace and tranquility of our lovely church, which is beautifully cared for, and obviously very much loved. It is also a treasure-trove of high quality Victorian church furnishings and stained glass, for those who enjoy such things!

BA22 8TH.

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 is 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 eighteen 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.
