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 without a permanent Vicar but are delighted that Curate Debra Elsdon is settling into the Rectory at Tatsfield with Husband Asley. While Debra commences her Vocational journey and develops her role within St Mary’s and the wider Team Ministry, we will continue our main 10am Sunday service with music, led by visiting clergy/lay people. You are warmly welcome to our services and events, detailed in our Notice Sheet via the link below.
Each year we welcome manhttps://www.lttm.org.uk/stmarys/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Web-Notice-Sheet-Oct-2024_13th.pdfy visitors, particularly for our season of Summer Teas, our bi-annual flower festival and to enjoy the peace and beauty which many find in our pretty church and the churchyard, with its spectacular views across the Downs. Our church is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday from 9am to 4.30pm. We also run a popular toddler group on Monday mornings.

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, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday from 9am to 4.30pm. 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. If you are unable to visit St Mary’s personally you can email your prayer request to stmoffice.lttm@btinternet.com or post it to St Mary’s Administrator c/o Parish Office, St Peter’s Church, High Street, Limpsfield RH8 0DG.
