Welcome to St Mary’s Tatsfield

We are a friendly Anglican church within the Diocese of Southwark, with a long, proud Pilgrim history and continue to welcome those travelling the Pilgrim’s Way today.  We are currently in Vacancy but are delighted that Curate, Revd Debra Elsdon is settling into the Rectory at Tatsfield with Husband Ashley as she commences her Vocational journey and develops her role within St Mary’s and the wider Team Ministry.  Our main Sunday service with music is at 10am led by visiting clergy/lay ministers and Revd Debra as her schedule allows.

St Mary’s Foodbank Collection

We support the needs of our local community through the Westerham foodbank, which faces increased demand with the ongoing cost of living crisis and a reduction in donations received. Non-perishable food donations you are able to give can be left in the receptacle at the back of the church Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3.30pm. or contact Hilary Vale (01959 577864).  Thank you for your support.

Prayer Requests

We have a prayer request book in the church near the Baptism Font, should you wish to have prayers said on your behalf.
