Weaverham, Cheshire
Mentioned in the Domesday Book, for over 1000 years, the people of Weaverham have worshipped at St Mary’s. Built of local red sandstone, it overlooks the winding River Weaver valley from which Weaverham takes its name. There have been three churches on this site. The first was Saxon and this was substantially built, for it existed in 1277 when King Edward I built the Abbey of Vale Royal. The second was built between 1281 and 1360. The tower is the oldest part of the present church, extensive alterations took place in the 16th century and the building is largely of that period. Interesting features include stained glass windows, font, historic seating, many interesting memorials including one from the Battle of Waterloo.
We are an open, friendly, Evangelical Church in an Ecumenical Partnership and a history of variety in our service styles. We are welcoming to everyone and we try to be at the centre of our village community. We want to inspire and support those of all ages who seek to enrich their understanding of the Christian faith.
