All Saint's, Froxfield is a little gem of a church just off the A4 between Hungerford and Marlborough. We are small but thriving and very involved in the community. Froxfield is a small village which over the years has had strong links with the farming community, and celebrates key times of the year through festivals.
We are part of the 6 churches of the Whitton benefice and share a joint Team service when there is a 5th Sunday in the month.
Please follow the "Picture Gallery" link on the right to see some professional photographs of our Church taken by Laura Anne Photography ([email protected] // , 07929 137272).
