Welcome to St Mary's and the other two churches of our benefice. “News” , on the right, gives you information on regular activities and special events. There you'll usually find our weekly News Sheet and also Benefice services "at a glance" on a single page . 

 David Payne writes for us in "From the Rector", also on the right.

See the other pages for information about what happens in the church and benefice, including weddings.

The Friends of St Mary's have their own page for their programme of events.

 St Mary's Church is in the historic heart of Standon. It serves the growing community of Standon and its adjoining neighbour, Puckeridge, with the countryside around.

Since 2006 it has been part of the United Benefice of Standon and The Mundens with Sacombe. The three churches share regular worship, based firmly on scriptural teaching. Music plays an important part in the life of the churches. St Mary's has a strong musical tradition. An updated booklet (March 2011) on the organ and its history  is to be found in a link on the right. The large choir shares a musical director and meets often with the combined choir of Little Munden and Sacombe. Young musicians of 11 to 18 can take part in lively jam sessions.
