Situated just off the A512, St. Mary’s has car parking and a pedestrian path up to the church door. The church hosts baptisms, weddings and funerals, and holds worship on the second Sunday of each month. Occasionally we hold Sunday morning services in Viscount Beaumont Primary School and a ‘Messy Church’. Messy Church is an informal way of exploring the Christian faith for young families. It involves crafts – often messy! – worship, and Bible stories. Our Rector, the Revd Mary Gregory and the church family stand ready to welcome you into their warm, friendly, informal community with a heart to serve the village and the wider area.
