Welcome to St. Mary's Church.

We are a community serving the village of Thornton-in-Craven, and have done since Saxon times.

All are welcome to our modern language Sunday service. So, whether you come to share Worship with us or you are on a pilgrimage to our Holy Well, - it received a FIVE STAR rating by the British Pilgrimage Trust - you will always be made welcome.

The parish of Broughton, Marton and Thornton is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Leeds’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services."</span></span>
