St Mary the Virgin Newent

St. Mary’s Church Newent is located in the centre of the beautiful Gloucestershire market town of Newent, near to the picturesque Newent Lake. Today’s church thrives as an upbeat Ecumenical place of worship, with a strong congregation and modern, relevant teaching for all ages.

On a site which is Anglo-Saxon and a building dating back to the 13th century, St. Mary’s Church has a wealth of history. It features the largest unsupported wooden ceiling in the country, a fine church organ built by a local novice in 1737 and a 1200 year old Celtic stone cross amongst many other items of interest.

Whether you’re a worshipper or a historian, we’d love to meet you!
