Join us for a journey that will be historical, cultural and spiritual – and great fun! We will be taking a minibus to Leicester where one of the great archaeological discoveries of our age was made and where one of our most notorious (or much maligned) monarchs now rests. During the Easter season the cathedral is also host to a special exhibition: the Stations of the Resurrection were the Covid project of British painter and art historian Ian McKillop.

St Mary the Virgin, Fen Ditton

St Mary's Church stands close to the River Cam and is a much loved landmark for rowers, dogwalkers and others seeking refuge from the busy city.  Our parish includes the ancient village but also a good part of the urban development (built in old Ditton's fields) and all of the newest local development, Marleigh.  We have an active church community with services at 10.30am each Sunday, except the last Sunday of the month when we join with our sister churches in Teversham or Horningsea.  There are regular midweek study evenings and a coffee morning on alternate Wednesdays.
