Welcome Day

On Saturday 16 May 2026 we would like to welcome you to the church, churchyard and tower of St Mary’s Church.

Our popular café, the Parish Pantry, will be serving refreshments all day and you will have the opportunity to explore the grounds and buildings including climbing the 17th century tower for spectacular views of Rickmansworth.

No need to book and admission is free. Come along – you will be most welcome!

Our regular café, the Parish Pantry, is extending its hours today. As well as the usual luscious spread of homemade cakes, they’ll be serving bacon butties and other lunchtime treats.

Lots of choice of home-grown vegetables and colourful plants.

Unsold plants will also be available on Sunday.

We hold regular sales of books – come along, browse and discover something new

The 17th century tower will be open to visitors from 10.30am to 12 noon. Climb the steep steps through the ringing chamber to see the clock mechanism and bells; enjoy the wonderful views over Rickmansworth and the Chess Valley.

There has been a church on this site for more than 750 years and the tower is 395 years old. Inside the tower you will sense its history.

(Suitable for children over 8 years accompanied by an adult)

A great opportunity to see how the bells are rung.

We’ll be in the ringing chamber from 2.00-3.00pm

(Speak to a bellringer on the day for more information and tickets)
