Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Studley 

The church building is located outside of the main village of Studley, but it and the people who meet here are at the heart of the village. 

We meet every week for worship, we livestream special events and services, we host various community gatherings (such as our famous Churchyard Teas), and we are involved in a wide range of activities across the community. 

We are an Eco Church, Bronze Award church.

Children

Children from babes-in-arms to older youth are very welcome here. To help make you more comfortable, our newly-enlarged children's corner to the front and side of the church, allows your children to play or engage in worship-related activities suited to their age, while you can keep an eye on them and still follow all that's going on in the service. Find out more about what we offer the younger members of our church, from Messy Church to a youth group.
