Welcome from the Rector

Welcome to the exciting website for St Mary's Church. Here you will find all about our flourishing and lively community. The site includes: how to come to see this historic building if you are a visitor to Warwick; how to worship with us if you are new to the area or to faith; how to support or become involved in our ministry; and how to support or become involved in our music. St Mary's is an open and welcoming church. It would be lovely to see you in person.
