Welcome to St Mary Magdalene Church, Cricket Malherbie!

We are the Church of England Parish Church for Cricket Malherbie and Knowle St Giles.

St Mary Magdalene’s is a Festival Church, which means that whilst the church is not used for regular worship, we hold a number of special services in the church each year. For example we will worship here for Christmas, Easter, Harvest, Mothering Sunday and other times as advertised.

This church is one of a family of churches that make up the Two Shires Benefice. You can find further details on the other churches by using the tabs on this page.
