ST JUTHWARE AND ST MARY'S CHURCH HALSTOCK DORSET
EXPERIENCE RITUAL AND TRADITION
Experience the warmth and love of our church
We warmly welcome you wherever you are on your spiritual journey
Steeped in Medieval History St Juthware is a calming peaceful place to visit deep in the Dorset Countryside. The patron saint of Halstock, St Juthware (or Judith) devoted herself to serving God and performing good works. She tended to the needs of pilgrims who visited the village. She may have lived here around AD700 and her remains were eventually taken to Sherborne in the 10th century.
She was greatly venerated by the church in mediaeval Sherborne and her feast day of July 13th is shown in the Sherborne Missal. The Harrow Way passes the church.
If you have never visited our lovely Church, we hope you can do so soon. Marvelling at this glorious building, may you also catch a glimpse of the magic of the history– so that, having arrived as our welcome guest, you will leave renewed.

This event thanks all the volunteers who give tirelessly of their time to help run our church. At the last count, there are over 50 people who live in the village involved. We always need more volunteers, especially for the coffee morning rota and church cleaning. None of the tasks are onerous – most are once a year or a couple of hours every 6 weeks, depending on the job.
PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING, AND WE ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGE THE YOUNG IN OUR VILLAGE. Come along, you will have a very warm welcome with drinks and nibbles to feast on.
NO CHARGE.
