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

On Sunday 21st June at the end of the 9.30 am Parish Eucharist, additional burial ground was Consecrated in the extension to the churchyard here at St Mary’s. The Act of Consecration was led by Bishop Robin Smith, in the presence of the Diocesan Registrar, Mr David Cheetham, and The Rt Worshipful Mayor St Albans City and District, Councillor Chris Oxley. The ground was purchased on behalf of the church by St Albans District Council who is responsible for the provision of public burial space with the kind assistance and agreement of Mr and Mrs George Blair, who owned and farmed the land. The half acre space will ensure that the people of Redbourn continue to have somewhere in the village to bury their loved ones as the existing churchyard is now full.

2005 was a truly remarkable and memorable summer. Not for the weather, although it was quite pleasant for most of the time here in England if I remember rightly. And yet not very many thousand miles away Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Eastern side of North America leaving massive devastation and flooding in its wake. In July 2005 London found out that it had been awarded the Olympic Games for 2012 and yet the very next day four explosions occurred in the capital killing 56 and injuring over 700. But for me, the most memorable event, and certainly the most enjoyable that summer, was the incredibly close Ashes series against Australia with England eventually securing a 2-1 series win. Most commentators and journalists have hailed it as one of the very best cricketing contests of all time. Sadly, the ashes were not to remain in our grasp for long and 18 months later the England team were humiliated in a series whitewash ‘Down Under’.
