St. Mary’s is a small, friendly and inclusive church community which meets to worship in a rural setting in a beautiful grade 1 listed building

in the village of Drayton Beauchamp.

​

St. Mary’s is a Festival Church, which means that is not now used for weekly worship Services, but continues to function as a Parish Church, holding a minimum of six Services a year. These are mainly for Festival and patronal celebrations of the Church including Christmas, Easter, Harvest and Remembrance Sunday, as well as for baptisms, weddings and funerals.

​

The church building is also required to be available
for the local community to use for a range of events
and to serve the needs of the community.

​

For more information on Festival Church status,
see the Diocese of Oxford website .

​

​

St. Mary’s is open for private prayer and visitors
every Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 4 pm.
