St Mary's is situated in the delightful village of Holmbury St Mary at the centre of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

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.

We would describe ourselves as those who adhere to the middle way in the Anglican Communion, being neither markedly High Church/Anglo-catholic nor Low Church.

The choir lead us in the Gloria, Sanctus & Agnes Dei and our clergy, Communion assistants & choir are usually robed. We do not use incense. We do not call our Rector 'Father', we call him Tim.

We are strong supporters of women clergy. While our Rector Tim is a man, both our Associate Minister Judy & Curate Sarah are women. We are very fortunate as our Rector's wife Hazel is also a priest [and Director of the Diocesan Discipleship Vocation and Ministry Team] and is occasionally free to lead services and or preach

We believe & hope we're warm & welcoming but we won't hug you to death. If you seek privacy this will be respected. At the 10am service we keep a pew free for visitors in the middle of the congregation so you won't have to sit in the front or at the side and can follow what we do.

Children of all ages are welcome.

There are 2 churches in the parish, the Sunday morning services alternate between them.

The Fifth Sunday is a lottery! Please check as to which service is where.

We have a basic pattern to our Services which you can view under the tab "Services and Events" but as there are sometimes changes please do not rely on this! You will also find details of any special services here.

To find out the times and places for our planned Services, go to 'News' to the right, click on the month and it will download a 'Word' document. This is what's published in the Parish Magazine and on Notice Boards.
An A5 card version may be picked up in the Church once the previous month is over.

Every Sunday we give out our 'Weekly Notes' which give details of Services and other activities during the following week as well as the following Sunday. They also give notice of any late changes to the Services as published and advance notice of any special Services.
Normally they will appear on the site once they've been published but may be picked up from either church, both of which are open every day. If you'd like a copy emailed please phone 01483 203352.

We hope you find this page useful & helpful. If you'd like to see more or different information, please contact us. We're quite capable of making mistakes so, please, if you spot something that looks silly, please ring 01483 203352 to check and if it's wrong, we'll say 'Thank you' & correct it.

If you're planning a visit please email Jo at [email protected] to check no additional services or events such as funerals, school assemblies, weddings or visits are taking place when you'd like to come. We don't put these on this site.

Please always check services before making a special journey by phoning in advance.

In the first instance please always phone the Rector Tim Heaney on 01483 202394 or email [email protected]. 

The Associate Minister, the Revd. Judy Potter's number is 01483 203352.

We are strong supporters of women clergy. While our Rector Nick is a man, both our Associate Minister Judy & Curate Sarah are women. We are very fortunate as our Rector’s wife Hazel is also a priest [and Director of the Diocesan Discipleship Vocation and Ministry Team] and is occasionally free to lead services and or preach

We believe & hope we're warm & welcoming but we won't hug you to death. If you seek privacy this will be respected. Because of the arrangement of the pews visitors do not have to sit in the front and there are no side aisles so it’s easy to see everything & to follow what we do.

Children of all ages are welcome. We provide an area with low tables, playmats and colouring materials at our 10am Parish Communions where parents may take their children if they wish.

The church is quite hard to spot, you can't see it from the Hurtwood Inn Hotel but go past to the Village Hall and you can! It's opposite the Village Hall.
