St Mary's Church is thought to have been built around 1350 and is a listed grade one building. The Church is set some way outside the village, and although it is removed from everyday village life the setting is very tranquil and much appreciated as a special place for quiet and contemplative prayer and reflection.

The church is open throughout the summer and autumn months for people to visit and to pray.

St Mary's Church is part of a Benefice of eight beautiful village churches, each with their own individual identity. The churches work together on a number of wide ranging issues, particularly on mission and evangelism within our communities. All the churches have services throughout the month, plus there are joint activities within the Benefice, including a popular children's group.

For service times, event listings, and an introduction to the Church and the Benefice as a whole please go to our website at www.unitedbenefice.com
