Getting here
St Mary’s Church, was originally mentioned in the Domesday Book, but rebuilt during the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries; the church was closed in 1980. A former rector of St. Mary’s was Revered John William Colenso, who later achieved fame as the first Bishop of Natal.
A successful friends group was formed and has over 100 members. Their aim has been to restore the church and graveyard. Enough work had been carried out to enable the church to be taken out of redundancy on the 26th June 2012 to become a chapel of ease to St. Peter’s Church, Forncett. The church has already held several services, including Carols by Candlelight, a Colenso Celebration service and talk, a Tenebrae service at Easter and has held it’s first wedding service for 43 years. Services will continue to be held as well as many more community and fundraising events which have been very well supported.
