A tour of Great St Mary's

Panoramic views

We are now preparing a series of panoramic views of Great St Mary's, of which the first one, a general interior view from the nave, is now available.

Visiting our church building

Great St Mary's is open to visitors from around 8:30 a.m. (the end of the morning service) until 6 p.m. every day, and you are welcome to come in to look around and perhaps to pause for prayer in St Andrew's Chapel, which is reserved for silent prayer except when it is in use for our daily services (which visitors are welcome to join). For how to get to our building, see Finding Great St Mary's.
