WELCOME

We are a welcoming, open and inclusive church, meeting in the centre of the community. Whether you are looking to join the church family on a regular basis, or are enquiring about becoming part of the church for a special event, such as a wedding or a baptism, these pages should give you all that you need to know.

Welcome

Our church building is undoubtedly one of the landmarks that makes Chiddingfold special.  The first recorded building on the present site was c1180, but there were probably people gathering in this spot for worship may years before.  The building is Grade 1 listed and unique amongst other listed buildings in the village.  

However, the church is no monument or museum!  Throughout its history it has been and still is today, home to a thriving Christian community who meet together for worship and who reach out in service to our village and the wider world.  St Mary's is an Inclusive Church.

St. Mary’s is very mindful of the care, well-being, and safeguarding of all our children and vulnerable adults. We adhere diligently to diocesan and national safeguarding guidelines.  Our safeguarding handbook can be downloaded here. Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Ruth Goddard who can be contacted at stmaryssafeguarding@outlook.com alternatively you can contact the Rector, Reverend Rachel Greene

In all we do we keep in mind our mission to know Christ better and to make Christ better known. To find out more About Us and our Core Values follow the links.  We hope you will find what you are seeking here and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Church Appeal: In March St. Mary’s Chiddingfold launches the 2024 Church Appeal: ‘Honouring our Heritage, Securing the Future’. St. Mary’s needs your help to support our financial sustainability, so it was an enormous encouragement to receive the very first donation on the same day the March Parish Magazine was delivered. We are so grateful for all who are making contributions to support the life of our beautiful parish church. There are many ways to make your donation, large or small, in person or on-line, particularly through regular weekly or monthly giving. Thank you for considering how you can help.

Gift Day: The Church Appeal will culminate in a Gift Day on Saturday April 27th when everyone who values the presence of St Mary’s in the village is invited to come along to make a pledge or donation. There will be games, activities and crafts for children; displays and tours about the church’s heritage; beautiful flowers on display and homemade refreshments served all day. So please save the date, it will be a great day!  If you are unable to come on Saturday 27th April you are very welcome to post or deliver your donation to The Rectory, Coxcombe Lane, Chiddingfold, GU8 4QA.  Please see our 2024 Appeal Booklet and Donations Form for more information.
