St Mary Gosforth

Sunday Services are in St Mary's Church (or St Mary’s Room in winter) and are also zoomed out to people's homes. Please check details for each Sunday on the notices and calendar sections.

The church is open for private prayer and visitors during the daytime, at least from 10am to 4pm. There has been a church on this site since around 700AD and there are Viking artefacts from the period when the Vikings were converting to Christianity which are of national importance.  This Christian presence for so long results in an ideal place for prayer and quiet reflection. 

The current church is a friendly village church with close links to the school and nursery

To find out more do join us for fellowship over coffee in St Mary's Room after the 11 am Sunday Service or have a chat with people in the village. We also run a Coffee, Cake and Chat session on the first Thursday of each month, in St Mary's Room, 10:30-12:00.

Please look at the one off events for variations to the usual pattern of services. It may show the regular service on the calendar as well.
