St Mary's Church, Church Road, Kington

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Grade I listed, stands high on the hill overlooking Kington at its western edge and close to the site of Kington Castle, whose foundation dates from the reign of Henry 1 (1100-1135). The church's elegant 18th Century Lych Gate welcomes visitors approaching from the town. The Norman tower houses a ring of six bells, which welcomes worshippers to services. The Church boasts some fine stained glass windows, mainly from the school of Clayton and Bell. The Church as a whole is well maintained and in a good state of repair. It is open for 365 days of the year, allowing visitors to enjoy the calm, peaceful atmosphere of a lovingly tended Church. The visitor's book is full of appreciative comments. You are very welcome to join us in worship, or simply to visit and look round.
