For the latest news, services and events please visit the benefice website www.ironstonechurches.com
The Norman Church of Saint Denys, Eaton stands proudly on a hill in the centre of the village. It overlooks a beautiful valley and is made of Ironstone, which has been quarried locally, and has a delightfully warm hue. The Church dates back to the 12th Century and has many fascinating details to admire.
The Church is named after Denys, patron saint of Paris. He was one of seven Bishops sent to convert Gaul, later he became Bishop of Paris before becoming a martyr at Montmatre (Martyrs' Hill). In 626 his remains were moved to King Dagobert's foundation of St.-Denis, the famous Benedictine Abbey, near Paris.

Goadby Marwood: St Denys
Every three months, we host an Ironstone Churches Communion service at 10:30 a.m.
Everyone is warmly welcome to attend these services and to stay for a coffee or glass of sherry afterwards.
Situated in the heart of this conservation village, the Grade 1 listed ironstone church was built around 1280 with additions in the 14th Century. It was restored and reseated in 1884.
The church is dedicated to St Denys. It possesses more carvings than most, with four gargoyles adorning the church tower and many stone faces found within. The attractively-patterned font dates from the 14th Century.
At the rear, the imposing Goadby Marwood Hall overlooks St Denys.
St Denys is on Facebook
