About Us

St Mary the Virgin serves the village of Longcot in the Shrivenham & Ashbury Benefice. The ecclesiastical parish includes the village of Fernham and its chapel of ease (St John the Evangelist).

The Vicar (currently in vacancy) lives in Shrivenham and shares responsibilities and duties across the Benefice with the Associate Vicar who lives in Ashbury. They are assisted by a team of retired clergy and lay leaders who lead worship both in church and online.

Please visit our Benefice website or Facebook page for up to date information on services and events, including livestreamed Sunday and midweek services.
