St. Mary, Standon

St. Mary, Standon

St. Mary’s was open with an open door.  I found one of the rarest things in churches – a children’s guide! Very few churches have these. This is a good one which explains what is what without being patronising. I wish that more churches would give this a go. Also, there was an adult guide and a leaflet ‘A Brief Walk Down Standon High Street’, a useful partnership between church and community. There was a ‘Saints and Pilgrims’ book as well and a children’s area and a small display of their work. This is a well cared for church. There is no website but there is information on ‘a church near you’, but nothing on visitors.
