Parish of Hempsted with
St Mary de Lode and St Mary de Crypt
St Mary de Lode
Steeped in history, standing on Roman remains and mentioned in the Domesday Book, St Mary de Lode is the oldest parish church in the city. St Mary de Lode marmalade is famous throughout the city and available for purchase along with craft items hand-
A variety of groups meet in the church hall each week including U3A classes. The church’s fine acoustic means that Gloucester Music Society uses it as a venue for their monthly concerts during the winter, and it is also a venue for concerts during the Three Choirs Festival, in the years that Gloucester is the host city.
Do come along and join us for a Sung Eucharist on a Sunday morning – all are welcome.
St. Mary de Lode Church receives no Church of England or external funding, and would gratefully appreciate any donation that you may like to give to the church in order that we can remain open for regular worship and special family occasions, such as baptisms and weddings.
If you would like information on giving to the church on a regular basis please get in touch with the parish office or click here for more information.
