St Martins is a lovely little church, dating back to the 14th century. In July 2011, we finished a program of restoration and the church looks lovely both inside and outside.
Worship is of a more traditional style with a regular congregation of about 20 people.
We try to serve Fiddington and its community of 200 people. Apart from the normal services we hold a harvest supper and twice yearly we host a popular quiz in our village hall. There is a coffee and chat time in the church after every service.
You can be sure of a warm welcome whether you are a resident , a visitor or on holiday in this beautiful and peaceful part of Somerset.
