Service of blessing for our community and its sustenance

St Oswald's Grasmere
St Oswald's Grasmere, St Oswald's Church Church Stile Grasmere, LA22 9SW, United Kingdom

One week only! The Sunday service will take place at St Oswald's at 9:30am. In Rydal there will be NO Sunday Service this week, and in Grasmere at 11am we will meet for a walk with prayers around Grasmere lake to celebrate Rogation Sunday.
Rogation is an ancient church festival in which we seek blessing for our community and its sustenance. Traditionally parishioners walk the parish boundary, 'beating' the boundary stones with sticks.

St Oswald's Grasmere

A very warm "Welcome!" to St Oswald's Church, Grasmere

We are in the heart of the central Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. St Oswald's is a medieval church on a 7th century site - a sacred place of prayer and celebration since the earliest days of christianity in northern Britain. William Wordsworth with his wife Mary and sister Dorothy Wordsworth rest in our churchyard along with their family and villagers. 

Locals and visitors "belong" here, both for quiet reflection and the joy of communal worship and music on Sundays and festivals. 

Join us!
