Welcome to St Mary's Buckden.
We are a friendly village church with an active congregation. The church is open to visitors every day, to look around, for a quiet space to rest, or for private prayer, so do come in and look around. We also run a variety of services and events throughout the year; something for everyone, we hope. All are welcome at any of our services and events.
Our main services each week are on Sunday at 11am and Wednesday at 10am; with additional services and times of prayer which vary from week to week.
