About our church
St Mary’s Church stands at the heart of the Old Town of Hemel Hempstead, just off the High Street. Its tall and elegant spire makes it unmistakable. It has been a place of worship for over eight hundred and fifty years and provides a real focus as a centre of spirituality and history in a town most of whose history goes back barely fifty years. The church has a newly refurbished Walker organ and has a robed choir
