St Mary's Church can be found at the end of a beautiful country lane. There has been a Church on this site since Saxon times, and the present building is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In recent years the interior of the church has been sensitively restored, creating more space for social events and providing a light and open space for worship.
St Mary's Barnham has many things of historical interest, however it is not a museum. It is home to a living and growing community who meet together to worship and share. You would be most welcome to join us.
The church is open every day during daylight hours and we hope you will find peace inside.
