Welcome to Bitton! I am very pleased to welcome you to the parish. We hope you will find the information in this website useful. It will be growing slowly over the next few weeks and months, so come and visit here regularly.
I look forward to meeting you soon if I haven't done so already. In the meantime, if there is any way I can be of help, please get in touch with me or our Curate.
With best wishes,
Paul Denyer
See Who's Who in Bitton
A brief pictorial tour of a building packed with interest. The church was founded while William the Conqueror was on the throne of England. In its pews once sat Dick King-Smith, the man who wrote the children's book, The Sheep-Pig, which was made into the film Babe. See the window he dedicated to his parents.
A number of talented artists live in and around Bitton. We have featured some of their work and we welcome any others who would like to join them to get in touch.
