We are a small friendly congregation and offer you a warm welcome to our comfortable and well-kept church. Our church building's roots go back to the 14th/15th century.
Like many churches in our local rural area we are struggling to maintain a Christian presence. With recent local residential development and the rapid growth of our linked village school, St Mary's Church of England Primary, we are seeing some signs of growth.
Our worship is Eucharistic centred with Common Worship and a fortnightly 8am 1662 BCP service, alternating with Yealmpton.
We also hold a popular monthly Messy Church usually on first Saturdays of the month, which are subject to change.
