St Katharine's Church, Savernake

About St Katharine's

St Katharine's Church is a very pretty

Victorian church quietly located on the fringe of Savernake Forest. It is surrounded by forest, farmland and the playing field of St

Katharine's Primary School, a thriving school with a happy and caring ethos which maintains very close links with the Church. St Katharine's is a rural community, formed of scattered dwellings, many of which were originally farmworkers' cottages - indeed some still are, though most of the inhabitants of the area now make their livings in sectors other than agriculture.

The congregation is mostly drawn from the surrounding community but also includes members from nearby villages and from Marlborough who are looking for a more traditional form of C of E worship and to be part of the warm and caring life of St Katharine's Church.

We welcome all comers, whether they want to involve themselves in the activities of the church or just drop in for the odd service or quiet moment of prayer and reflection in peaceful surroundings.

If you are coming to your first service at St Katharine's, it would be lovely if you would introduce yourself to one of the churchwardens or even just to the people in the pew nearest you. However, please don't feel pressurised to do so if you would find this intrusive. The main thing is that you are here!

Children of all ages are welcome at our services. Please feel free to keep your child in the pew with you or, if you prefer, there is a play area in one of the transepts which has some toys, books, etc which your child is welcome to use.
