Glanvilles Wootton: St Mary the Virgin

This beautiful Grade II* listed Church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, sits in the Benefice of the Three Valleys Team and the Diocese of Salisbury. It is thought that there has been a building for worship at this tranquil spot since the 12th Century. 

The doors are open from 10am to 4pm every day. Along with church services we run various events including a fete, harvest supper, talks, teas, and pop-up pub to help build a stronger, happier, local community. Everyone is welcome to come along and participate. Every year we give each household a Christmas gift which gives us a chance to catch up with all residents in the village.
