St Mary's, Charlcombe

Welcome to St Mary's, Charlcombe, a place of shelter, space and tranquillity that has been a thousand years in the making.  We gather every Sunday at 9am for Holy Communion with 3 other regular services at other times. The church is open for private prayer between 10am and 4pm on most days, with the garden, Holy Well and our YouTube channel being open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The beauty, peace and presence of St Mary’s makes it a place that fits both times of celebration and lament. If you would like to find out more about Baptisms, Weddings or Funerals please contact us.

You can find out more about who we are and contact us from our main website https://stmaryscharlcombe.org.uk/, or contact directly from her on 'A Church Near You'.
