Welcome to St. Brannock's Church and St Anne's Chapel

St Brannock’s is situated in the village of Braunton in North Devon. The church lies on the outskirts of the village, the centre of which migrated slightly southwards as it grew into one of the largest villages in England. The parish Church now has some 8,000 parishioners in its care.

The diversity of the parish is well reflected in the people attending worship, who are a welcoming and all-encompassing group of people. As the parish Church, we are accessible for all who live in Braunton, its surrounding villages and hamlets who are in search of our form of worship and who might like to join us. Service Times at St Brannock’s and St Anne’s are listed below. Also, our Church buildings are normally open each day if you would like to pay a passing visit..
