Welcome to All Saints, Coddington
The
hamlet of Coddington is to the
east of Herefordshire, deriving its name from the Anglo Saxon
word for a collection of mud cottages. The houses are more substantial
now, but the parish is still small with a population of about
120.
The church has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our regular services are Holy Communion and Matins, from the Book of Common Prayer, but from time to time during the year the church is used for Evensong, special services, concerts and other events. The benefice is shared with Colwall, so we have the same Rector and ministry team, and the churchwardens form a local contact point.
The church building is Early English, replacing an earlier Saxon church. It has many interesting features including the east window made by Morris & Co and some fine embroidered altar frontals by William Morris. The bells have recently been restored.
This quiet country church is well worth a visit on a Sunday when the church is open. There is a car park behind the church. Before you leave, do stop to admire the view over the countryside from the north west of the church.
