St Mary’s Church

The oldest parts of St Mary's Church, which lies on the hill above the hamlet of Burton, date from about 1290 although little remains from that period. The Register of Incumbents dates back to 1305 when the Abbot of Glastonbury presented Johannes de Montacute to the living. The Manor and Advowson of Netlington belonged, until the Dissolution, to Glastonbury Abbey. The present patron is the Bishop of Bristol.

At St Mary’s we have a variety of services, and all are welcome at every service. Services   are listed on the News and Events page of this site.The Church hosts a Village Lunch at 12.30 on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month, offering a light lunch and tea and coffee.
