St. Mary the Virgin, Burton Bradstock

St. Mary the Virgin, Burton Bradstock

A lovely church in a delightful village. It is open each day. The sign board outside doesn’t give any visitor information but there is a good welcome notice in the porch. It relates more to a Sunday but is applicable for all week too.

I found a guide inside and a welcome leaflet, which gives a ground plan of the church, a prayer and a short meditation or two on Jesus. An easy thing to produce and worthwhile. Also some post cards for sale. Some 19 people had signed the visitors book in July.

There is a place for prayer requests and a display about the churches mission partner link. Children’s work was displayed as well.

It is always good to see an open Bible in a church – a people do look at them. St. Mary’s takes this to a different level – there were 4 of them open at the time of my visit! A wonderful inscription on a memorial here caught my eye – there is a picture of it here. I rate St. Mary’s as good for my purposes.
