A beautiful countryside church with a peaceful ambience and wildlife-friendly churchyard.
You may know us for our roadside sign: 'Find Peace & Tranquility Within'.
Marton Church is open daily for personal prayer.
Marton in the Forest is on the road between Stillington and Farlington (YO61 1NH).
Rev Steve Whiting recently retired and we are beginning the process of recruiting a new priest in charge.
In the meantime Marton Church is open for services and events, including baptisms, weddings and funerals.
Please contact the churchwarden or [email protected] for any enquiries or more information.
