Frensham: St Mary the Virgin

The Dedication of the historical Church of St Mary the Virgin is recorded in the Annals of Waverley Abbey for the year 1239: 

"The Church of Fermesham has been moved this year from the place where it was first sited to another place with the advice and help of Luke, Archdeacon of Surrey, and in the same year it has been dedicated."

Nothing is known of its previous site, but as to the likely cause of the removal, the Annals tell of massive storms in the area in the 1230s.

Our two magnificent church buildings in their rural settings within the Frensham Benefice provide the perfect place for worship and prayer in times of celebration and reflection.

We are a vibrant community of all ages and backgrounds with a Christian vision to make a positive difference to the people of Frensham and to those beyond. We would love you to join us.
