St Mary's, Bedingfield

Welcome to St Mary's, Bedingfield - a truly historic Grade I Listed building which dates back to Norman times. We offer a very warm welcome to worshippers and visitors alike.

Although very old, our Church offers a timeless beauty, where people over centuries have gathered to worship God. In times of joy and sorrow, abundance and scarcity, peace and conflict, many have come to this holy place to worship, to give thanks, to seek comfort and solace, and to find friendship.

Please spend time looking around, both inside and out - you are very welcome.
