Welcome to St Mary's Church, located in the centre of Westerham in Kent.   

Following the national ‘lockdown’ restrictions which began on 5th November, places of worship have closed for 4 weeks (except for individual prayer and funerals).   

We now expect to open our church again for our 10.30am Sunday Service starting on December 6th. The social distancing measures that we had in place prior to the second lockdown will continue, and we will once again livestream the service via our Facebook page and publish a recording of the service to YouTube later in the day. 

Our Katharine Chapel is open for private prayer on Wednesdays from noon until 1.00pm.    Funerals are permitted attended by a maximum of 30 people, and burials of ashes can continue with up to 15 people in attendance.   

Sadly our building is not currently open to visitors outside of these times.

But 'church' is more than the building... so please look around this site where there are details of all we are doing, as well as links to resources to enable us to worship from home.

We are not perfect, but we invite anyone to join with us as we are discovering more about the love of God and learning  how we can reflect that love to each other.
