Brushford is a small welcoming village on the edge of the Exmoor National Park.
St Nicholas' Church sits at one end of the village. A beautiful little country church well known for its side chapel designed and built by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and tomb to a son of the aristocratic Carnavon family. The congregation that gathers here week by week is loyal and devoted to their church.
Our Mission is to be at the Heart of the Community of Brushford. As well as regular services, we host a number of events throughout the year.
We have one Service per week on Sunday. Most often it's at 11.00am and a Eucharist. But please check our website.
