St Mary Abchurch

St Mary Abchurch is one of Sir Christopher Wren's finest parish churches. Set back from the bustle of Cannon Street, in Abchurch Yard off Abchurch Lane, it is a haven of quiet for reflection and prayer. The present church was completed in 1686, and has altered little in appearance over the centuries. Its glories include a magnificent altar screen by the master carver Grinling Gibbons, and a shallow painted dome of 1708 by parishioner William Snow, as well as many original features, including the communion table of 1675, pulpit and font of 1685-86, and many fine monuments.

Until St Mary Abchurch closes for a major conservation and refurbishment project in September or October, the Church is usually open from 11:00 until 15:00, from Monday to Thursday.

The Guild Church Council is preparing the building for the conservation and refurbishment project, Abchurch Renewed, https://www.stmaryabchurch.org.uk/abchurch-renewed, so there are currently no regular services or other events.
