The Churches of Puddletown, Tolpuddle and
Milborne St Andrew with Dewlish
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the benefice of Puddletown, Tolpuddle, and Milborne with Dewlish.
Many people know that the Church exists because of its buildings. The Church is, in fact, a body of people who seek to worship God and live out our faith in our communities and beyond, in word and action, through loving God and loving our neighbour.
We would like to welcome you to join us at worship or at any other of our activities. No one is excluded from what we do, since we base our values on those of Jesus Christ, who welcomed everyone.
Meet the Church Team
Say hello to our local clergy and churchwardens.

We are friendly, welcoming and always willing to offer support or answer questions you may have. Don't hesitate to contact us, if there is anything with which we might be able to help you.
