More information on St. Mary's Merivale

This solid stone Anglican church with its square, crenelated tower, serves the well-to-do parish of Merivale. Consecrated in 1926 it is the second on the site, replacing a wooden church built in 1866. At the rear of the nave, glance upward to the beautiful barrel-vaulted ceiling and across the rows of richly carved pews. The organ is one of the largest parish organs in the country, containing 2800 pipes. The church is decorated with a collection of exquisite stained glass windows. A booklet is available to guide you through the elements of each window.
