Huish Church is a small church surrounded by the Clinton Estates, and while it is a local parish church has particular connections to the Clinton family. Worship is maintained on a monthly basis. We are very fortunate to be able to maintain the building and grounds in good condition.
We are part of the a local grouping of Anglican churches and work with them in local ministry.
