Perhaps founded by St. Indract more than a thousand years ago the Church is steeped in history and is a great witness to the thousands of Christians who have lived and worked in the Parish of Tamerton Foliot from before the time of the Doomsday Book right up to the 21st Century.
Still a thriving Church to this day, St. Mary's has something for everyone and has services to suit all tastes from traditional prayer book communions and sung evensong through to modern family services, Joyful Praise Services and Messy Church.
