If you are in the area and wish to visit, the building is always open on Wednesdays. You may like to see our stained glass windows or spend a time of quiet prayer in the Lady Chapel.

St Mary Magdalene Church welcomes all who have faith, struggle to find faith or are interested in exploring faith.

Our Clergy are available to discuss baptisms and weddings at the office hour between 7.00pm and 8.00pm on Thursday evenings in Church. Before attending for the first time check out the 'who's who' to be able to put a name to a face. If you would like further details please use the E-mail link below.

The present building is the third to stand on this site. The first church to be built here was Saxon. This would have been a wooden construction and therefore no traces of it remain today. The first stone built church was Norman and the base of the tower and part of the west end remain today. The tower was added in the thirteenth century. In 1728 the Norman church was so badly damaged by fire that it had to be rebuilt. The last major addition to the structure of the building was in 1906 when the choir vestry was added.
