Churchyard Regulations There are Churchyard Regulations governing what can, and cannot, be placed on or near graves in the churchyard. An extract of the regulations is available in the church porch for you to read. If you require a full copy of the regulations, which includes the requirements for headstones, please email info@denbychurch.org.uk

Currently two services are being held each month in church - normally on the 1st and 3rd Sundays in each month - see the full list of services for the next few months here. The Church of England website has a selection of daily worship and prayers. Improvements to the Church The project to replace the main heating system in church was completed in 2024. This is the result of over five years of fund raising and much planning. The new electric heating system uses advanced infrared technology and calculations show that the running cost should fall by about 65% and the carbon emissions should reduce by 88% (based on comparable usage). Please visit the church to understand how the new technology heating works - this is St Mary’s contribution to the Church of England’s Net-Zero target. Having also removed the pews in the north aisle, the ceiling in the north aisle is being repaired (from water damage some years ago) to make the space in the north aisle more comfortable for meetings and other events. See the story of our new heating system. Please support St Mary’s - its continued existence is not guaranteed. We urgently need more people to help look after it. Send an email to request how you can help.
