Welcome to the Parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Buckland.  We are a small worshipping community that gathers in the attractive village church situated at the centre of Buckland village. We are Eucharistic focused with a strong sense of tradition . We are a united benefice with our sister church, St Michael’s Betchworth.   Buckland services occur here on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.   The service on the second Sunday is usually a service in the 'Iona-style', a contemplative tradition.  The church is open everyday to pray, sit quietly or simply to have a look round.Our services are supported by a joint robed choir and organ.  

After our Sunday services we have refreshments and a time to catch up with old friends and to meet new ones.  We’re a warm and supportive community, and welcome anyone, regardless of their life circumstances, beliefs or questions.  

In the short-term (as of July 2026), our Rector is on long-term sick leave, and our volunteer Churchwardens are co-ordinating church services, weddings, funerals and memorial services. If you are new to the church or parish please do introduce yourselves to one of our wardens,  David Sayce or Liz Vahey. We would love to meet you.

We recommend that you view our website at:  www.stmarythevirginbuckland.org.uk for more details and photos.
