Churches in Corsham Parish

St Bartholomew, Corsham

http://www.corshamandlacockchurches.org.uk

St. Bartholomew is one of 5 Churches in the team ministry.  The others are St. Anne (Bowden Hill), St. Cyriac (Lacock), St. John the Baptist (Gastard) and St. Philip and St. James (Neston)  

St Bartholomew has been a centre of Christian worship for over one thousand years. There was certainly a Saxon church on this site long before the Normans invaded England in 1066 A.D. It is recorded that William the Conqueror granted the church at Corsham to tbe Abbey of St. Stephen at Caen in Normandy. The present building dates from the middle of the twelfth century, but there have been many changes and additions since then, ending with a major restoration in Victorian times.

St Philip & St James

Church Rise Neston
01249 701720
http://corshamandlacockchurches.org.uk/

St. Philip and St. James is one of 5 Churches in the team ministry. The others are St. Anne (Bowden Hill), St. Cyriac (Lacock), St. John the Baptist (Gastard) and St. Bartholomew (corsham).

Construction of St Philip and St James’ Church started in 1866, shortly after the adjacent school had opened.

In 1985 a long-awaited scheme to adapt the building for modern needs was finally undertaken (records show that the scheme had first been formally discussed in 1972!), resulting in internal reordering to create a vestibule, kitchen and cloakroom, choir vestry, and a large upstair meeting room.
