North Cadbury is one of nine parishes in the benefice of the Camelot Parishes. Services are held in two churches in the parish: St Michael the Archangel in the village of North Cadbury and Galhampton Church in the village of Galhampton.
Although Galhampton Church is used for Church of England services, the building belongs to the United Reformed Church - as a result Galhampton Church does not have its own listing on A Church Near You and services at Galhampton have been included under the entry of St Michael's in North Cadbury.
More information can be found on the North Cadbury page of the Camelot Parishes website. Galhampton has its own page on the Camelot Parishes website.
