St.Mary Virgin Northill sits at the heart of the community in the picturesque village of Northill. The parish covers Ickwell, Thorncote, Hatch and Budna as well as Northill. Our church has a beautiful, well-maintained 14thC building in a large churchyard.
There is a weekly Sunday Service at 11.15am, usually a Sung Eucharist, (apart from first Sundays when there is a rotational service with the sister churches in the Benefice) and a said Eucharist on Thursday mornings at 9.30am. Special Services are held at all the major festivals. The church is well supported by members of the community. There is a close relationship with the village school and a thriving Friends of St.Mary's.
Both the Church and the Friends put on a number of events throughout the year which bring the community together as well as raising funds.
Our parish of Northill is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm.
