The Long Barrow at All Cannings is a spiritual place where people of any or no faith can come to remember and give thanks,
especially for the lives of their loved ones
As a Place of Worship we have celebrated the Solstices and Equinoxes throughout the pandemic and remembered those dear to us .
We hope 2024 will enable us to welcome more of you to join us.
The Long Barrow will be open:
Summer Solstice - For sunset 9:30pm on Thursday 20th June -
Come early, bring food and drink and have a picnic if you like, otherwise see you from 8:00 onwards.
Autumn Equinox - Sunrise 6:10 am Sunday 22nd September
Winter Solstice - Sunrise Sunday 22nd December
The exterior is free to visit at all reasonable times.
It is has internal chambers with niches and is used as a columbarium or place for cremated remains in urns to be kept.
The income from the leases of the niches funded the construction.
It was the first Novolithic Barrow, built in 2014 in the style of a traditional long barrow in natural materials, but made relevant for today in its internal layout. All the niches are reserved but due to circumstances changing niches may become available, please email tim.daw@gmail.com if interested.
