STONEY LITTLETON LONG BARROW

One of the finest accessible examples of a Neolithic chambered tomb, with its multiple burial chambers open to view. Bring a torch and experience the burial chambers at first hand.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
11 miles from Bathampton Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
BRATTON CAMP AND WHITE HORSE
12 miles from Bathampton Parish
Below an Iron Age hillfort stands the Westbury White Horse. Cut into the hillside in 1778, it replaced an older horse, possibly commemorating King Alfred's nearby victory over the Vikings.

St Nicholas Church is part of the Benefice of St Nicholas, Bathampton and St Mary's, Claverton. We are a welcoming and friendly family church serving the village of Bathampton, 2 miles from Bath.
Our identity is that: We are a church focused on Jesus so that we love one another, serve the whole parish and touch the world.
The church contains the grave of Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, Australia. We host a service each October near the anniversary of his birthday to honour his life, which is attended by various dignitaries usually including the Australian High Commissioner or their deputy, as well as children from the local school. The tower area contains a display recalling Phillip's life including his connection with Bath.
In accordance with Church of England guidance the Church will be closed until further notice. But you are most welcome to join us for our live streaming services on Sundays at 10.45am at St Nicholas and 9am at St Marys Claverton
