ST MARY THE VIRGIN

SILCHESTER

.

About us

 

St Mary the Virgin, Silchester is primarily a place of worship and prayer, one which still serves as the focal point for Christian fellowship and ministry for many who live nearby.

 

The earliest walls of this parish church are from the beginning of the 12th century and it is a living place of worship used by both individuals and the community on a daily, and weekly, basis.  As with other generations we make our mark both in the work of restoration and repair to keep the historic fabric in good order; also to make changes and additions to ensure that the building is effective and alive.

 

Access to Saint Mary's is usually available on most days. With our new extension, we now have toilet and baby-changing facilities. Provision has been made for level access for wheelchairs, baby carriers, zimmer frames, and spaces are available in the body of the church for wheelchair-using worshippers. . An amplifying loop is used at services to facilitate those using hearing aids.

 

Thanks to a change in the law, there are more churches to choose from for your wedding. Lots of people marry in their own local church, but we know that you might like to marry in a church such as ours because it has special significance for you through family or other connections.
An engaged couple can now do just that if either of you can show just one of the seven connections with the parish listed here. If you're marrying in a church away from Silchester, we would still love to support you as you prepare for the wedding, and afterwards too.
