All Saints, High Bray

About our Church by Tony Bawden, Churchwarden

All Saints Church at High Bray is in the parish of Brayford with the River Bray running through the village. All Saints Church is on a high point surrounded by picturesque valleys and woodlands.

The Church has been on this hill site since Saxon times, but thoroughly restored in 1878 and has many interesting features. The porch has stone seats and inside the Church there are four bays and a wagon roof, one of the pillars has a bell ringer with a rope and twined around the column.

The Churchyard is well looked after by local people and is a wonderful site each spring.

We have three services each month and we work closely with Charles church and the Methodists at Brayford.

The Church has the following services and events, in addition to our regular Sunday Services, during the course of the year:

• Spring and Harvest Puddings and Song

• Remembrance Day Service

• Christmas Eve Candlelight Lessons and Carols

• Easter Service Celebration

• School Nativity Play

• High Bray Church Quiz
