St Mary the Virgin Church

The History of our Church is in the process of being rewritten so please bear with us.  In the meantime, please visit our website here 

The Church is having to pay attention to upgrading its electrics in certain areas, mainly but not only connected with the heating, which dates back to 1956. This is expected to be the start of a modernisation project that will probably take several years and we expect will mainly be carried out in the early summer.

The Churchyard also needs a lot more attention and we are expecting the yew bushes to be tidied up as the first of many outstanding jobs.

Pastoral Letter the Revd Mark Woodrow or Revd Karen Smith will separately send a Pastoral Letter in for December.
