Hello and Welcome
Thank you for visiting us. St Saviour's is the Church of England Parish Church of Coalpit Heath, in the Diocese of Bristol. Our new partnership with Frampton Cotterell, Winterbourne and Winterbourne Down is going well. Are you confused about who the new Partneship Clergy are? Well, have a look at this picture, thanks to Derek Simmons. The third of our spotlight interviews is with Malcolm Strange.

Special Services coming up:

Monday 22nd February - Lent study groups start for 5 weeks - Days and times 'To Be Announced'. St Saviour's Fridays at 2:30pm from 26th Feb. Everyone is welcome to join us.
We are trying to embark on the tidying of graves in our churchyard. There are some graves where the surrounding stones are cracking and need cementing back to make them more secure and neat. If you have a grave of a loved one in the churchyard and are able to tidy it by repairing the stones, it would be appreciated. The graves where we have no family contact we shall endeavour to repair sympathetically.
We do not want to cause any undue stress to anyone, but our churchyard is well looked after and cared for and this is to do what we can to maintain everything in good order. You can search the list of inscriptions in the churchyard or view photos of the graves here.
Please contact Andy or Mary to register your interest in a grave or if you wish to discuss this further. We will be starting this work at the end of February, in time for the grass-cutting season, so please contact us soon.
