Ashcombe, St Nectan

The historic St Nectan’s Church in Ashcombe is Grade I listed, maintained by the PCC and local volunteers. Financial support comes from fundraising and charitable donations. Assistance of all kinds is invaluable to St Nectan’s and the local community.

St Nectan’s Church is a social and spiritual focal point for the local community who rely on this ancient building as their spiritual centre.  Although the population of Ashcombe is under 100, many inhabitants of the village and surrounding districts are able to trace their ancestors through the church records. Baptisms, weddings and funerals are significant events in village life and the church is one of the anchors that binds the community. 

St Nectan’s needs regular donations from as many people as possible.  Please consider setting up a standing order with as much or as little as you would like to offer.  Maintaining the church there for when people need it.
