‘Growing strong in faith and worship, we work together to serve and care for all.’
St Mary’s is an Anglican church serving the parish of Balcombe, West Sussex in the Diocese of Chichester. The church is open every day to visitors and those seeking space and peace in which to think and pray.
Although parts of this beautiful church date back to the 13th Century, the prominent tower was built later in the 15th Century and houses eight bells. St. Mary’s was restored and enlarged in the mid-19th century and the lychgate, erected in 2002 from locally grown oak, was the winning entry in a Millennium competition.
The village of Balcombe is situated between the towns of Haywards Heath and Crawley and lies at the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are a small but thriving community with many clubs and activities. Local people are closely involved in the day-to-day running of the church which itself enjoys a special and very close relationship with the popular and successful village school. Follow the links above for information about different aspects of church life in the parish.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our services or other activities.
