Lark Valley & North Bury Team Benefice
West Stow with Wordwell
St Mary’s was the “mother” church before the Lark Valley Benefice was formed. It was almost derelict until the early 19th century but was lovingly restored by the Victorians and is well loved and has a friendly atmosphere.
West Stow is working on a Pit-Stop Project to welcome the many walkers and cyclists and folk who use the carpark. Dog biscuits and bicycle repair kits are in the porch, along with a bring-a-book, take-a-book library. There is an honesty hole-in-the-wall for the carpark.
The church is open during daylight hours.
We have a Holy Eucharist service at 10:00am on the 1st Sunday of each month and on the 3rd Sunday of each month we host a Parish Breakfast at 9:15am followed by a Said Holy Eucharist at 10:00am.
Up the B1106 towards Brandon is the charming little redundant church of All Saints, Wordwell, usually open, where two fascinating primitive stone carvings can be found and some beautiful wooden pews. The church is used for a special evensong service once a year when electricity is not a necessity!
