St. Mary's has an active and enthusiastic team of music makers. Their main purpose is to support the worship of the church and assist with local outreach projects whenever possible. Music is an important component of worship at St. Mary's and our services offer an opportunity to experience a wide variety of genre and styles. We are fortunate in having a reconditioned two manual tracker-action organ.
Music Group
There is a small group of instrumentalists led by piano and accompanied by singers who lead the music at the two Morning Praise services each month. Singers and players of instruments of all abilities are welcome. The music tends to be more modern in style at these services, and the worship more informal.
Hand Bells
The Bell Choir plays at a number of services during the year, but mostly focuses on outreach work. Rehearsals are on Saturday from 8.45 – 10 am in the church Meetings Room. If you are interested please contact Julie Clark on 0208 325 5804.
New musicians and singers welcome.
We extend a warm and friendly welcome to all new members and no previous experience is required to join. If you feel that part of your service to God is through making music, your contribution would be greatly appreciated, either as a regular or an occasional member. Making music is a sociable and enjoyable activity that is spiritually uplifting.
Church Bells
The six church bells include a tenor bell dated 1602, a bell dated 1670 and another dated 1837. In 1882 Sir Everard Hambro, the owner of Hayes Place, gave three new bells.
