Chesterton - St Mary the Virgin

We hope you will feel welcome, whoever you are! Our church has been at the heart of village life for hundreds of years. Our regular congregation includes people of all ages and from all walks of life.

On the first Sunday of every month is the Young Families’ Service, which includes bible-storytelling, birthday prizes, and the occasional surprise visitor. On other Sundays there is a range of services – something, we hope, to suit everyone, ranging from the Book of Common Prayer to Taizé and modern worship songs.

St Mary’s works very closely with Chesterton School and is represented on the governing body.

The church is currently undergoing a period of restoration and renewal. We intend to install a WC and servery, make more space for socialising and performances, improve the heating and lighting, and generally make the building more inviting and accessible for everyone.

The church is normally open during daylight hours. There is seating in the pews for approximately 120.

The Diocese of Oxford's safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our Benefice Safeguarding Officer.

For all safeguarding concerns please immediately inform the Benefice Safeguarding Officer, Nicky Donne, at [email protected].
