Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, Burrough-on-the-Hill. This is a beautiful medieval church with glorious stained glass windows, a 13th century font, 15th century stone effigies, and memorials to famous residents of the village.
The Church is part of the Diocese of Leicester and the Burrough Hill Benefice of churches, within which is the Burrough Hill parish, comprising Burrough on the Hill, Somerby, Gt Dalby, Little Dalby, and Pickwell. A strong fellowship exists between all the churches in the benefice.
Burrough on the Hill holds services once a month, generally on the fourth Sunday, and we also host a great variety of concerts, events, and craft workshops throughout the year reflecting how our church is firmly rooted in the life of the community.
You are very welcome to look around the church, which is normally open every day, or to attend our services and events.
