Story

Please help us with our current priority - raising sufficient funds to restore the peal of eight bells housed in our beautiful St Mary's Church, a much loved grade 2* listed building where people have worshipped since the mid 1200s.

It is over 90 years since the bells had any major repair, and we are determined to build on the efforts and commitments of our ancestors, by ensuring that St Mary’s and its bells will be there for all in today’s and tomorrow’s world. We are committed to remain a focal point in the community, a valued place for gatherings and a welcoming centre of Christian witness for years to come.

We would really appreciate your support! Thank you.

The church, which is kept open all day, is dedicated to St. Lawrence. In the earliest days it belonged to St. Oswold’s Priory in Gloucester, from which a chaplain was sent out to minister to the people. The present building is partly 14th century, but was mainly rebuilt in 1858. The belfry holds a ring of 8 bells. A team regularly ring for the main services, and also for special occasions. In 1996 a churchyard survey was carried out, when all memorials and their inscriptions were recorded, a copy of this is in the church and a map and index of names are on the back of the notice board in the car park. This was updated in 2017 and a complete index of names is kept in the church.
