Harvest will be celebrated twice in the parish of Lullington with Orchardleigh this year.
On Sunday 25th September at 11am there will be a Harvest Festival service of Holy Communion at St Mary the Virgin, Orchardleigh, after a long gap the harvest celebration returned to St Mary’s only a couple of years ago to possibly one of the most rural churches in the diocese of Bath & Wells being between two fields of cows or sheep and a lake!
At 11am on Sunday 2nd October there will be a Harvest Festival service of Holy Communion at All Saints, Lullington. The Church of St Mary dates back to the 14th century and sits on a moated island adjacent to the lake on the Orchardleigh estate and due to it’s location has no electricity and all services are illuminated by candlelight and the organ is pumped by hand.
The Church of All Saints in Lullington dates back to around 1160 and features a font and carving over the north door from that date.
