We have a warm and inviting church that has served the community for centuries, which is steeped in history and sits at the heart of the BVTM in the traditional market town of Halesworth. St. Mary’s has an active, and welcoming worshipping presence (supported by the Friends of St. Mary’s FOSM). We’re an inclusive worship community, through Christ-centred worshipping love, using many forms of liturgy including:- The Book of Common Prayer, Common Worship, Iona, Taize, Choral Evensong, Breakfast Church and many more. Imaginative plans to regenerate St. Mary’s as  the  thriving heritage and community centre of Halesworth and the core/mother/hub church of the team are now being laid for today’s and tomorrow’s needs, which will enable  the church to serve the community better, through providing appropriate facilities and opening up the church even more. St. Mary’s has open doors all year round. We’re an inclusive Church and proud of it. With a thriving lay ministry to spread the good news the future looks very exciting.

The Church sits in the heart of town and is “a fine sight” to behold. The building is being restored stage by stage but is a fine example of 15th Century work. The tower was significantly restored in 1990 and houses eight fine bells. With the Lady Chapel open for daily prayer and with the Team office located behind the grand organ, St Mary’s is rarely empty!
