All Saints’ Chapel Bradfield is a small chapel, built in 1875, as the chapel to Bradfield House, former seat of the Walrond family. It is now owned by the Uffculme Trust (a non-denominational trust established to support a range of village projects and causes). A monthly evening (Anglican) service is held there by permission of the Trust and there is a small worshipping congregation based at Bradfield. The Chapel has recently been re-licensed for holding weddings.
 

St Mary the Virgin

Bridge Street Uffculme Devon
O188456257O

People have been worshipping at St Mary’s Church since the 12th Century although most of the architecture is Medieval and Victorian. The 67ft rood screen, dating from the 15th Century, is the longest in Devon and has been partially restored to show the original colouring. Uffculme is a close and active community and the church congregation is correspondingly warm and participative. Services are varied to be as inclusive as possible and to accommodate a range of worship preferences. We also have a peal of 8 bells that are the envy of many and often attract visiting ringers.

01884 266741

St Stephen's Church in Ashill was built in 1882 in a central position to the village and is of an attractive Victorian design. It is of modest scale, seating around 100 maximum, but with a small additional side area which can be used for additional seating if required.  St Stephen's is fully licensed for weddings. There is a small but faithful worshipping congregation from the village.
