A very warm welcome to St Mary's Church, Longworth, part of the Benefice of Cherbury with Gainfield.
St Mary's Church is a 13th century Grade 1 Listed building which has stood at the heart of this village for over 700 years. It still is a place of prayer, sanctuary, welcome and worship for all who come here, witnessing to the healing love of God for all people.
St Mary's serves the community, offering pastoral care, baptisms, weddings, funerals, Sunday worship and big festival celebrations at Christmas, Easter, Harvest and Remembrance. We visit the sick and housebound and those in hospital, praying for all in need. St Mary's also hosts the Longworth Community Library and a monthly Cafe.
