English Heritage sites near Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Parish
TEMPLE CHURCH
6 miles from Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Parish
The 'leaning tower' and walls of this large late medieval church survived bombing during the Second World War. The graveyard is now a peaceful public garden.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
10 miles from Pill and Easton-in-Gordano Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
SIR BEVIL GRENVILLE'S MONUMENT

Erected to commemorate the heroism of a Royalist commander and his Cornish pikemen at the Battle of Lansdown, 1643, this monument marks the spot where he fell.

ST BRIAVELS CASTLE

Visitors of all ages are offered a warm welcome at Christ Church. Our worship reflects the breadth of Anglican tradition from traditional prayer book services to All Age Worship where Christ's message is told with the aid of puppets, drama and modern music.
Christ Church is part of an United Benefice with Easton-in-Gordano and Portbury, so our services form a rota with them. We are also part of a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) with our Baptist and Methodist churches in the village, where our different styles of worship work in harmony to show our love for Christ and for our local community.
We have a spacious modern building, with a carpeted room at the entrance, so children can enjoy our toybox when they become restless. We offer cr��che facilities during Family Holy communion so parents can experience the "still small voice of calm"�. Please join us for any service which you feel appropriate.
