Latest changes at St Mary’s regarding Covid-19 guidelines

Following the Government’s lifting of many of its lockdown restrictions on 19 July, St Mary’s has been slowly introducing changes to the services it has been holding in Church since December. We are mask-friendly and we ask you to consider being so too. In August we removed restrictions on the size of congregations for those attending Sunday worship, Christenings, weddings and funerals. There is no need to book for any service. We ask people to keep a social distance during services and chairs remain spaced out in both the north and south aisles. From September, we are re-introducing weekly Sunday School and will begin congregational singing with masks at our Sunday morning service. The other Covid-19 restrictions that we have been following throughout the pandemic will remain in place.

St Mary’s Church open daily during the day Your Parish Church is open every day from 9.00am-4.30pm for anyone who wants a time of quiet personal prayer or reflection or to light a candle. There is also a Prayer Box in which you can place a prayer. The vicar will later pray your prayer at our daily services. Public worship services continue as listed below.
