St Mary’s Church receives many thousands of visitors each year and is open to visitors between 10am and 5pm daily, 11.30 to 5.00pm on Sundays in the summer and 10 am and 4 pm in the winter. The times change when the clocks change. A steward is normally on duty.
If you intend visiting us and would like a guided tour of the building, please contact the Parish Office at least a fortnight before to book a guide at a suitable date and time. There are also guide books and audio-guides available and our stewards are happy to help if they can.
Please check with the steward for any useful ‘aids’ to discovering the church for yourself; we normally have some binoculars available to help with the higher windows. We also have a very useful Audio Guide which is free to borrow during your visit.
Please note that tour parties should always contact the Parish Office prior to visiting, even if a guide is not required – indeed, it is a good idea for small groups or individuals too. Access to the church will be dependent on such things as services taking place, other tour parties or work being carried out – we do not want to have to turn anyone away.
