St Giles Church at Kellaways is a small edifice and a bit run down. Kellaways is one of five parishes in the Draycot Benefice (Church of England) and the priest-in-charge must be a busy person. The present church was built around 1805 and until recently had a handsome cupola. The local people are raising money to fix it.
Kellaways is a sparsely populated place famous for being served by Maud Heath's Causeway, an elevated pathway for keeping people's feet dry in times of floods, which are frequent when the Avon bursts its banks. The Great Western railway passes through but there has never been a stop in Kellaways. There is - unlikely as it sounds - a Kellaways telephone exchange. I can't find any physical evidence of it as yet. Maybe it was a shed with a telephonist once, as was the case elsewhere when the early telephone system was set up.
