Getting here
St Mary’s is situated in the centre of the delightful village of Holmbury St Mary at the centre of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many people will drop in when walking near by. You can park either in the small car park above the church, continuing up the small lane by the church. Or around the green in front of the church. During Sunday services people park on Horsham Road on the side by the church. There are buses that run regularly from Guildford and Dorking past the church.
The church was built in 1879 by the eminent Victorian architect George Edmund Street and its architectural style could be described as high Victorian. However, as the only church in the village, we try to make our style of worship as wide-ranging and diverse as possible in order to serve the needs of every parishioner and visitor. We seek to do this through a pattern of services that includes both formal (liturgical) and informal approaches, through regular prayer and discussion groups and through our lively family activities. We extend a warm welcome to both villagers and visitors whether they are occasional worshippers or are seeking a deeper spiritual understanding.
We have operated as a Joint Benefice with the neighbouring parish of St John the Evangelist, Wotton, since 1979 and the Benefice has recently expanded to include the other churches in the former Leith Hill Group: St James, Abinger and Christ Church, Coldharbour.
