St. Andrew’s forms, together with the Parishes of St. Martin’s in Fivehead and St. Catherine’s in Swell, a ‘United Benefice’ within the Deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster.St Andrew's Church

This Deanery has several Local Ministry Groups (LMG) and lies within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Whilst we aim to work and worship together as a United Benefice, each church has its unique identity and Parochial Church Council (PCC).

Jenny Langdown, RectorThe times of the church services are published in the Curry Rivel News and the Fivehead News, along with any changes to the regular pattern of worship (see below) and special services.

St. Andrew’s has a loudspeaker & loop system installed for those with difficulty in hearing.  Wheelchair access is via the North door.  Large print hymn books are available.  If transport is a problem, lifts to and from church can be arranged.

If you need help in arranging a Baptism, Wedding or Funeral, please contact the Rector, Mrs. Jenny Langdown, on 01458-251375 to arrange a time.

A Short History of the Church Print E-mail

Curry Rivel probably grew up around the Green before the Romans came.  There was a church in Curry Rivel at the time of the Doomsday survey in 1086.  However, the village lay between two ancient monastic houses, so there may well have been a church on this site long before the Norman Conquest. St Andrew's Church tower The oldest surviving part of the Church is to be found in the North Chapel, which contains 13th century and early 14th century work, although it is probable that this was built on the remains of a much earlier Saxon building.  The Chapel contains the tomb of Sabina Revel who died in 1254 and who was the last of the family from which the village takes its name.
