The 10.00am Parish Eucharist for S Chad's, S Mary's and S Leonard's, Marston is at Saint Mary's.

Following this years Heritage Open Days theme of 'Everyday Histories' we have been looking at the people who have shaped this church but being over 900 years old, St Chad's has... too many to mention! But come along to one of our open days to learn more about the person who established the church, those who built it and others who have simply attended it for generations ensuring it is still here today nearly 900 years after its doors were first opened. Some names, like the founder of the church are written in stone, others are only known by the skilled stone work they created. Some who lived centuries ago are famous, like Izaac Walton author of "The Compleat Angler" in the C17th, the well known Victorian Architect Sir George Gilbert Scott who drew the plans for the restoration of the church ,or the more locally recognised Henry Turkington, a generous benefactor in the early 20th century. Others are simply known through our Parish Records but lived ordinary lives in the parish, working in local trades and attending the church for worship.
As for its name - you will also be able to find out about the life of St Chad himself.

No pre booking necessary, but please be aware that St Chad's is a living church with regular services. The times listed as open are around the times of services so please be aware that tours and the exhibitions will not be available during services.
Please also note that there are three steps to get into the building and unfortunately the only ramp available has to be put in place as required. It is heavy, wide and steep without handrails. It will be put in place at the wardens discretion and used at your own risk. Please phone in advance if required.

Please join us for our annual Christmas Craft fair. The church will be open from 10AM until 4PM on Saturday 28th November (free entry) for you to come and browse the range of items available, all made by local crafts people. Refreshments also available.
