St Mary Magdalene

Welcome to this hidden gem of a church - near the red telephone box, along the grassy track and behind the copse of trees!

Enter, relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, remembering the many who have worshipped here and continue to come here to pray and meditate in this special place.  

The church is on the Temple Moore Trail and was celebrated in a poem by John Betjeman.

For more historical details about the church and Betjeman's poem, click on the Facilities tab on the menu on the left of this page.

You are welcome to join us at any of our services or events.
