Period Band


The delightful parish church of St John the Baptist in Horningsham, originally dating from the 12th century, was enlarged and restored by the Marchioness of Bath in the 18th century.

The Mellstock Band provided music there for a wedding and reception that would have made the Marchioness herself feel at home.


The West Gallery Band of violin, oboe, clarinet and serpent specialise in music of this period and provide an extra element of authenticity by performing in costume.

The idyllic setting was blest with summer sunshine – a perfect English country wedding.
