Shorthampton
The peace of All Saints’ envelops you as you come through the gateway from a country lane: Welcome, pilgrim – this church has nestled for over nine hundred years in the mixed arable farmland that runs up the Evenlode valley.
O God, we thank you for this small church, in its beautiful setting among the fields, where people have prayed for centuries and been inspired and comforted. May we now find renewed strength from pausing here and take the peace of this special place with us wherever we are going next. Amen
