Our regular Church Services
We are part of the Church of England and hold services once a month USUALLY on the third Sunday each month, starting at 11.30am - except during June when the Art Show is on. We usually post details of any changes to normal services on www.facebook.com/PalladianAyot or visit achurchnearyou.co.uk which is the general Anglican church website and has more specific information about our style of service, which is occasionally BCP but frequently more up-to-date. We only have one active church, called (surprise) St Lawrence, but beware! On occasions we also hold services in the ruined church; below is a picture of the Pet Service in the ruined church where you can note the fervour of the dogs, and the man asking for cat reinforcements on the phone to make things even more lively. Our vicar was unwisely bending down to bless a dog.....
