St Mary's Church, Newchurch in Pendle

St Mary's Church is a beautiful, small, old church in the tiny village of Newchurch. It welcomes visitors, whether local residents or people travelling through, to all services and events, or just to sit and enjoy the peace of the church. Call in and see us! Our summer Sunday afternoon hospitality events are fun and free- do  check when they are running.

We enjoy working as  part of the United Benefice of St Thomas' Church, Barrowford and St. Mary's Church, Newchurch in Pendle.

Although we welcome everyone to our church, it was built into the side of a hill and if you are disabled, access may be tricky. Please contact us if you require assistance and we shall help if we can. email [email protected]
