St. Peter’s, Draycott

A lively, friendly village church, in a middle-sized village on the south slopes of the Mendip Hills in northern Somerset. Draycott is about half a mile from the village of Rodney Stoke, with our sister church of St. Leonard’s.

Events during the year include: Carol singing in the village, and carol services, at Christmas; a bible study group (during Lent we often combine with other churches in the Cheddar valley), and a harvest supper.

We also open the church to a variety of other functions, including fund raising concerts.

The church adjoins a thriving first school (Church of England Voluntary Aided; and contacts with the school are an important aspect of church life. The school regularly uses our building for assembly once a fortnight.
We are currently undertaking a major fundraising initiative for repairs to the roof and for interior redecoration.
