About St Andrew’s
The parish church of St Andrew, Broadhembury, is a Grade I listed building, consecrated in 1259 and situated within the village conservation area.
The south aisle and tower date from the 15th century, and the church can seat approximately 200 people. It contains fine stained glass, a notable organ, and a monument connected with Augustus Montague Toplady.
St Andrew’s remains an active and much-loved parish church. The building is in good repair, open every day, and regularly visited by local people and visitors alike.
The church is cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers, including those who open and lock the church each day, arrange flowers, clean the building, help with services and events, and support the many practical tasks involved in keeping St Andrew’s open and welcoming. The churchyard also benefits from voluntary help, with regular maintenance and grass cutting carried out under contract.
The Tower Room, created through fundraising by the congregation, is available for small meetings and includes washing and heating facilities. The Lady Chapel may also be used as a small meeting or worship space.
Our regular worship includes Holy Communion, Morning Praise and All Age Worship, with joint Mission Community services held on fifth Sundays in rotation among the six parish churches.
Through worship, prayer, scripture, sacrament and music, the PCC seeks to encourage and enable as many people as possible to worship at St Andrew’s and to feel part of the church community.
