East Rudham: St Mary

Welcome to St Mary’s, East Rudham

Standing proudly beside the main road through the village, St Mary’s is a light-filled and gracious church that has long been part of the everyday life of East Rudham. Though rebuilt in the late 19th century after the collapse of its medieval tower, the church carefully preserves its earlier story, reusing materials from the original building and retaining features such as the south doorway and carved bosses.

Inside, the church is open, spacious, and bright, blessed with clear glass throughout and a wide chancel filled with light from the east window. Touches of colour, especially in the transepts, bring warmth and richness to the space. In the north aisle, fragments of a 15th-century alabaster reredos remind us of the deep roots of faith here, including a particularly moving Crucifixion scene that continues to speak quietly of sacrifice and hope.

St Mary’s is a place shaped by renewal and resilience, offering space for worship, reflection, and stillness amid the movement of daily life.

Whoever you are, and whatever brings you to St Mary’s, East Rudham, you are always welcome.
