Reed St Mary
St Mary’s Church, Reed is a beautiful little church with a spiritual and peaceful atmosphere and its services are in the main quiet and prayerful and for many it is a very special haven.
The Church, parts of which are of late Saxon period, although not having a huge congregation, is nonetheless much loved. This is not only reflected in the recently formed Friends of Reed Church (a registered charity), but in the many people who give freely of their time to support the Church in myriad and sundry ways.
