The Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin
Prestwich
Serving God's people for over 800 years
Churchyard Action Group
St. Mary's Churchyard is a working burial ground and a wonderful place for all who love nature, history and ecology. The churchyard covers around 3 hectares making it one of the largest in the country (just one hectare is 100 by 100 metres squared - the size of a typical championship sports ground).
St. Mary's Churchyard Action Group plays a vital and valued role in the maintenance and improvement of this ancient site and we welcome new volunteers to help.
The Churchyard Action Group meets every Tuesday morning at 9:30am and every second Saturday of the month at 10:00am.
For many years teams from Community Payback have also provided valuable help with the maintenance of the churchyard.
