St Mary's is one of six Church of England churches in the Benefice of Witney. This ancient house of prayer has been a place of hospitality for over 750 years and stands at the end of Church Green. We are the main Anglican and civic church for the town.
We are inclusive and pride ourselves on being a warm welcoming and friendly community embracing a hospitable Christianity. The heart of our life is our worship. We treasure the Eucharist and Daily Office. Environmental matters are important to us.
Our parish of Witney is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO)
