St Mary’s has resounded with music for nearly a thousand years. Our church has developed and maintained a tradition of nurturing and promoting good choral music. That tradition continues today, and we hope you enjoy exploring the music pages of our website to find out more.
Voluntary Singers
St Mary’s Church Choir is actively recruiting additional singers to join our existing choristers. If you would be interested in contributing to our choral worship on a regular basis, please email the Director of Music via our Contact Page.
