St Michael's has been a focal point of the village of Buckland Dinham for hundreds of years and still is.
The church and churchyard are open every day for visitors. It's invaluable as a peaceful centre in our busy lives and everyone is welcome to come in for a quiet time of reflection. Over the last thirty years the church has been modified for community use, with a WC, kitchen, small meeting room and space for events such as concerts and coffee mornings.
Everyone is also welcome to our regular services, which have a friendly and informal atmosphere. We especially welcome you to our larger festival services such as
- the Carol Service,
- Mothering Sunday,
- Easter,
- Harvest and
- Remembrance.
We usually offer three services a month:
- First Sunday of the month – no service
- Second Sunday of the month – 11am Iona/Taize service
- Thirds Sunday of the month – 11am Holy Communion
- Forth Sunday of the month – 6pm Iona/Taize service
- Fifth Sunday of the month – no service

Check times on our website, as they occasionally change. Iona and Taize host communities who have spent much time coming up with profound modern-day liturgies, and they have influenced us greatly.
Every month there's a well-attended coffee morning at 10am on the third Saturday of the month – a great place to meet your neighbours. We have a small meeting room available for village groups to use for free, and there is a book exchange in the church – just come in and buy or swap a book.
St Michael’s is close to several well-established walking routes, and if you are a walker looking to use our loo and kitchen, you are most welcome. We only ask that you keep our church mud-free!
If you appreciate our medieval church and value its presence, please join the Friends of St Michael’s. We would welcome your support, whatever your faith or worldview. We are fund-raising at the moment to repair the lychgate (the wooden structure at the entrance to our church), which is badly in need of restoration.
