The Avon Valley Churches

All Saints, Middle Woodford

Next upstream is Middle Woodford. All Saints church is beside the river in a delightful location. The church was open with a laminated guide and a good selection of leaflets. Also a children’s area with various things they have produced displayed. Churches can be too tidy and it is good to leave things which show that it is a living community. Again, the Salisbury Diocesan booklet, ‘Praying Together; Lent 2017’ and some prayer cards and leaflets (don’t assume every visitor knows how to pray!). There is a votive stand and some brass rubbing materials to use – I haven’t seen this in years! A good website can be seen at http://www.woodfordvalleyparish.org.uk/ with some great pictures but it does lack obvious information for visitors.

There is a wonderful modern window, dedicated in 2013 – picture below.
