St Mary's Church Guildford
Quarry Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 3UP
An historic building at the centre of Guildford’s community offering a welcome and worship for hundreds of years, and recently sensitively updated to provide a 21st century welcome. A place of joint Anglican and Methodist worship and European Orthodox worship and a base for many other activities, including Guildford Street Angels.
Fabulous range of stained-glass windows from 19th to 21st centuries.
Brownies and Guides will offer pop-up café during Saturday opening. Tea and coffee available on other days.
We will host a special exhibition for Heritage Open Days; ‘Our Time 2’, showcasing original artworks (available for sale) from women prisoners who have been encouraged to develop their artistic talents, thanks to a partnership between Watts Gallery Trust, the Michael Varah Memorial Fund and HMP Send. Not only do the prisoners create works of art in weekly tutored sessions; since 2017 they have also planned and curated an annual in-prison exhibition for invited guests, learning new transferable skills including design, marketing, budgeting, time management, patience and public speaking.
