Rotas for sidespeople will be produced: if you are a sidesperson, please volunteer. There are forms in the church.
We are also re-introducing some altar serving with a selected and specially trained cadre of servers.

History of St Mary’s Church
The building stating today was designed by John Oldrid Scott; building started in 1874, and was completed in 1913 with the addition of the tower and spire.
The church houses some unique stained glass. The completely abstract west window – one of the first of its kind – was created by Alfred Wolmark in 1915.
