St Mary's, Ilmington

Welcome to Ilmington Church! We have a friendly congregation which worships in a building that dates from before the Norman Conquest, with an excellent organ, good singing and thoughtful sermons. We love to receive visitors any day of the week, but particularly if they join us for a Sunday Service. 

Ilmington Church also features eleven carved wooden mice tucked away in the pews and other places - they are great fun to search for, and children are usually much better at this than adults! There's a crib sheet telling you where they all are, if you need a helping hand.
