From 4th July 2020 we are pleased to say that our church will be open every Wednesday and Sunday from 9 am to 4 pm. 

We hope that you enjoy your visit. To help us all stay safe, please follow the guidelines for Covid-19 safety published at the church.

January 2021 - We are very grateful to have received a grant from Historic England's Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund. The money will allow us to undertake more investigations on the condition of the tower and spire so that detailed plans can be prepared for the necessary restoration work.

We are proud to continue to be #HereForCulture.

The parish of Fretherne: St Mary the Virgin is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Gloucester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
