St Mary's

Welcome to St Mary's, Gilston!

Our original church building was a small aisle-less church, built around 1135, which was entirely rebuilt and enlarged in the second half of the 13th century, with the upper part of the tower seen to have been reconstructed in the late 16th century, when the south brick stair-turret was added. 

As part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, we have a variety of services and events at all three of our buildings, and within our communities, so check out our 'Services' and Events' page to find out what on next at St Mary's.

We're looking to see you there!
