St Denys The Minster Church

About Our Church

The Minster is the parish church of Warminster and the town’s oldest church. Worship is the centre of church life and a range of services is offered reflecting the needs of town and rural life and incorporating both traditional and more modern styles of worship.

Besides worship, and in the main supported and run by a number of lay people, there are a wide variety of activities and groups which minister to the community within the parish and make their presence felt through the civic and social life of Warminster on a daily basis. Working with other churches of all denominations, members of the congregation help run the local Food Bank, provide volunteers for the drop-in centre ‘Cornerstone’, are among the Street Pastors out on the streets of Warminster every weekend providing pastoral support and a listening ear, and conduct weekly ‘Open the Book’ term time assemblies at Princecroft Primary School. We also have very close links with The Minster CofE Primary School and Warminster School.

As the building is the largest church building in the town it is regularly used for large concerts. The west end has a modern meeting area which incorporates a fully equipped kitchen and lavatory facilities.

The History of St Denys The Minster Church

The church has its origins in the Norman era but the present building is mostly late Victorian and is Grade 2* listed. The tower houses a peal of eight, recently-refurbished bells.
