St. Mary's Church
Welcome to our church
We meet for worship on three Sundays per week, usually the 1st, 3rd and 4th. The 1st and 4th are Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion services, with organ music or simply said.
Our village praise service (with well-known hymns and contemporary prayers with a sermon slot relevant to the needs of the wider community) usually takes place on the 4th Sunday.
We are also currently thinking through ways of developing the fabric to help make the building into a better resource for the strong local community. Why not come and join us at one of our services?

Tharston is located c. 8 miles south of Norwich, and adjoins the West side of Long Stratton. The Church stands at the centre of the village, on Hall Road, but the village itself is somewhat spread out, incorporating far flung "old village" dwellings as well as some sizeable new housing estates.
