Electoral Roll : Every Parish keeps a church electoral roll which is revised yearly.  Once in every 6 years the preparation of a new roll takes place where everyone comes off the roll and has to re-apply.  2025 is a year for a new roll in each of the churches in our benefice.

The preparation of a new roll is a chance to encourage those new to church life, or to the community, to join the roll, as a practical symbol of commitment to the church.  It allows them to take part in decisions which affect the church and parish, to take part in the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), and to stand for the Parochial Church Council.  

If you would like to be on the church electoral roll for Chiselborough please contact 881791 for an application form.

The church is approached via Church Lane opposite the Cat Head Inn in the centre of the village. The access is level and suitable for wheelchair users and prams and there is a wooden ramp behind the porch door if needed to climb the single step into the porch. There is very limited parking outside the church but cars can be parked on the roadside in the village. We regret that there are currently no toilet facilities in the church. There is a loop system.
