St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary the Virgin Lynton. One of the churches of the Lyn Valley Mission Community, eight rural churches in the very north of Devon where Exmoor meets the sea. Our usual, main Sunday service is Holy Communion at 11.00am, where everyone is welcome. The service is followed by a gathering for coffee where we look forward to meeting you. 

There are several Christmas events and services taking place in the Lyn Mission during the next few weeks. You can find details here.

If you are on holiday and visiting the area, you will be very welcome to join any of our services while you are staying here.

You can read the latest Lyn Mission monthly newsletter in the News and Notices tab under Notice sheets.
