Welcome to St Andrew's
Halberton is a large village about 3 miles
from the Mid Devon market town of Tiverton. St Andrew's Church is
located near the centre of the village and is conspicuous with its
magnificent tower and clock. We offer a warm invitation to
visitors and newcomers to the area to join us in worship, or just to
come and look around our historic place of worship and admire the
14th-century nave with its famous rood-screen, pulpit and Norman font.
Services and Events
Regular services in St Andrew's are The Eucharist, Morning Prayer and Holy Communion. As part of Churches Together In Halberton we are joined once a month by Halberton Methodists and once a month we join them in their chapel or the village hall.
When there is a fifth Sunday in the month the six parishes of the Sampford Peverell Team unite for a Team Eucharist held in turn in one of their churches.
Throughout the year we hold other events, including our summer fete, coffee mornings, Lent courses and concerts. See the Services Page for details of our services and events.
Halberton parish is in the diocese of Exeter and part of the Sampford Peverell Team of parishes. Since 1st September 2009 we have been in a 'Vacancy' (or 'Interregnum'), that is we have no Team Rector following Keith Gale's retirement. We now have news of our new Rector (see above) and eagerly await her arrival. In the meantime the six parishes are committed to maintaining services as usual with the help of our assistant clergy, to whom we are most grateful.
