St Mary's Church is an historic landmark, tourist attraction and busy parish church set in the ancient town of Warwick.
People have worshipped on this site for over 1,000 years and we are proud to be the stewards of this rich heritage.
One of the largest churches in Britain, we offer a wide range of services, many featuring enchanting music from our choirs.

Our campaign priority now and over the next few months is to seek urgent and substantial assistance
towards the vital repair and restoration of the tower.

A restoration plan is in place and we need to raise around £1.8 million to ensure this work is completed to the highest standard and makes the building safe for visitors to the town as well as local people. In practical terms the restoration work includes repointing, pointing, repairing and replacing the eroded stonework. It will make the tower secure and protect the original masonry as much as possible for the future. It is vital to preserve all the original stonework now before it is too late.
The works will take approximately one year including the setting up and taking down of scaffolding. Our immediate aim over the next three months is to seek funding for the tower so that works can begin as early as possible in the new year. An urgent appeal is underway to raise around £1.8m to safeguard the future of St Mary’s ahead of its 900th anniversary in 2023.
