Brief description

2026:

"The Parish of Acton Scott, home to some 90 residents, is an active and enthusiastic community centred around the Church of St Margaret, the Village Hall, and the Cricket and Gardening Clubs.

In Acton Scott we are fortunate to have a variety of clubs, social events and church services, all of which are run by dedicated members of a small but active community.

Recent changes in the village of Acton Scott include a new path and memorial bench by the Glebe pond on Henley Lane (as you travel towards the church from the village hall). This is a peaceful place to sit and ponder as you watch the water fowl. The pond is managed by the Acton Scott Village pond committee. 

St. Margaret's Church has regular Sunday services, consisting of communion services, family services, evonsong and matins. The priests in charge of St Margaret's, Acton Scott are The Revds Mark and Clare Saunders. Click here for the Church of England official page for St Margaret's Church. Our fine Nicholson organ was rebuilt in 2018/19 as a gift from TS Acton, who was the self-taught organist there for most of his adult life until his death in 2020 at the age of 95. Organists are welcome to come and try it out by arrangement or to assist with our services (fees available). Organ recitals have been held as part of the Church Stretton Arts Festival and we hope to hear more of this fine instrument on other occasions. Contact church wardens Mary Jones (01694 781 260) or Merle Wilson (01694 781 331) for anything relating to the church or the organ. 

Our village fete is a popular fundraiser for the church and attracts people from around the county. We pride ourselves in pulling together as a community to host an event which many people love for its genuinely traditional atmosphere. "
