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. Its historic organ is descibed 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.
“News” gives you information on regular activities and special events. There you'll find Benefice services "at a glance" on a single page that can be printed. Friends of St Mary's Church are active in fundraising through periodic social and cultural occasions and have their own page.
