St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary the Virgin Lynton. One of the churches of the Lyn Valley Mission Community, eight rural churches in the very north of Devon where Exmoor meets the sea. Our usual, main Sunday service is Holy Communion at 11.00am, where everyone is welcome. The service is followed by a gathering for coffee where we look forward to meeting you. 

If you are on holiday and visiting the area, you will be very welcome to join any of our services while you are staying here. During the summer there is a delightful Evening Epilogue service each Sunday evening at St John the Evangelist, Countisbury at 8.30pm.

You can read the latest Lyn Mission monthly newsletter in the News and Notices tab under Notice sheets.
