Welcome!
The church of St Mary the Virgin, Mendlesham, a village near Stowmarket, Suffolk, is an Anglican parish church in the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, under the pastoral care of Bishop Norman Banks, Bishop of Richborough.
St Mary's is a very special building - a reminder of the presence of Jesus Christ within the Community, a sacred space where we encounter God in silence and in worship and which resonates holiness. It is a centre of care; a place where the sick are healed and sinners (and that is all of us) find forgiveness. It is also a place where the community gathers to mark important stages of life and an outstanding architectural beauty.
The church is open daily; in January from 9.00 a.m. to about 3.30 pm.
All are welcome to visit, pray, join our congregation in worshipping Almighty God or simply enjoy this beautiful place.
