Welcome to the website of St Mary's Church, Shenfield.

For three-quarters of a millennium prayer has been offered at our church and it has soaked into the walls, giving it a special atmosphere. Please use the links on the left to browse our website and find out more about our thriving and friendly church.

Why not come and visit us, look at our treasures, stay a while, offer a prayer and go on your way a little closer to God. You will be very welcome.

Canon Paul Brett is retiring at the end of August 2008. His last service at St Mary's will be the 9:30am Parish Eucharist on July 27th. The Parish will then enter a period of interregnum until a new rector is appointed.

There will be a party for Paul and family on Friday, July 25th and a farewell at the patronal picnic at Fitzwalters Farm on Sunday, July 27th. Details of these events may be found in the Diary and News section, on the Notices page. (Click here for details)
