St Mary's Rostherne and Holy Trinity Little Bollington

The Parish of Rostherne with Bollington contains two churches.

St. Mary’s is a large Grade I listed church situated on rising ground on the edge of the village of Rostherne and overlooking the bird sanctuary of Rostherne Mere. It was founded over 800 years ago and demonstrates various phases of construction.

The smaller church of Holy Trinity was built in the mid 19th century to the design of Anthony Salvin. It too is set in a lovely rural setting.

Both churches have in recent years acquired toilet and kitchenette facilities and social space. The congregation of the two churches happily coexist and visitors to any of the regular services at either are made very welcome .”

What's on

Storytelling service - 2nd and 4th Sunday each month at 9.30am

Monthly. Every Second, Fourth Sunday at for 1 hour
St Mary's Rostherne and Holy Trinity Little Bollington
Rostherne Lane Rostherne Knutsford, WA16 6RT, United Kingdom

A relaxed and family friendly service for parents with young children. Based on Godly Play, the service begins with a song in the chancel before one of the children leads us through to our 'special place' for a story (told using wooden figures and simple scenery). The story is followed by a short time for prayer and then 'the feast' which comprises a biscuit and drink for the children. We then go back to the chancel for two more songs (usually noisy with instruments), after which the children have themed craft in our newly restored meeting area.
There is a chair lift available for wheelchair users.
Adults have tea, coffee and biscuits while their children engage in craft activities craft, although we encourage them to get stuck in as well.
