It’s a beacon, drawing the West Twyford neighborhood together. Imagine stepping back in time to 2010. The newer, larger church building, erected in the 1950s, stood silent, unusable due to safety concerns. Yet, the spirit of St Mary’s lived on. The original, smaller chapel, once overshadowed by its modern counterpart, was revived and rededicated. This tiny chapel, the original heart of St Mary’s, was once part of Twyford Abbey itself. The restoration breathed new life into the church, mirroring the revitalization of the community it serves. Today, within St Mary’s West Twyford, you can experience the echoes of centuries past. The main Sunday service at 10:30 am blends traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs. Children’s activities and a monthly all-age service ensure that everyone feels welcome. Beyond Sunday worship, St Mary’s is a hub of activity. From toddler groups to coffee mornings, there’s something for everyone. The connection to the community is palpable. St Mary’s West Twyford isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a place of connection, a testament to the enduring power of faith and community. It’s a place where history whispers and the future unfolds.
