Welcome to our page, we hope it is helpful for you, and we look forward to seeing you should you be able to join us for worship. There will be a warm welcome awaiting you.
The Church has been here since C10 and probably before that, we are set in what was the Old Town part of Chard. The Churchyard is a restful place too where we are rewilding some parts. We welcome anyone to visit and take a moment to reflect, pray, or chat as feels right for you.
If you would like to keep up to date with what is happening at St Mary's you can download a 'Pews News' from the News and Notice section.
In addition to our church building we are blessed to have a building opposite which houses the church office and hosts a number of church and community events throughout the week.
