Welcome to St Marys
Welcome to St Mary's Church website. St Mary's is the Parish Church of Redbourn, a beautiful village some four mile north of St Albans.  The Church is a fine Grade 1 listed building with parts of it dating from the early 12th century. Today it has a thriving and inclusive fellowship of some 350 members from all ages and backgrounds with a lively programme of events and groups. We hope you enjoy our website and that we will have the chance to welcome you in person to our church before too long.

Prayers and best wishes
The Reverend Will Gibbs, Vicar

Our Redbourn 900 celebrations kick off on 25th March at 8 pm with a service at St Mary’s led by the Bishop of Hertford to celebrate our local links with Italy, Ghana, Tanzania and Afghanistan.

Saturday 27th March heralds a concert by the Vasari Singers, one of the UK’s leading chamber choirs. The Vasari Singers are now in their 29th year and, under Jeremy Backhouse, perform a wide range of repertoire with passion and sensitivity to exacting standards and considerable press acclaim. For Redbourn 900, the choir will be singing a programme including Bach, Duruflé, Britten and some other great pieces.
