Otley, St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary's.

The present church was built in the 13th century in the gothic style. The tower houses a peal of six bells which are regularly rung for services. Notably, the vestry houses a full immersion baptistry which was installed by the Victorians. This can be viewed on request, but is open during Open Churches week. 

Our kitchen will provide refreshments at certain services. 

We have disabled access and a toilet.

The Church is surrounded by rolling countryside and an extensive network of rural footpaths. We are open everyday for your quiet prayers and meditation.
