About

St Mary’s Church, located close to the village green and station, is the parish church of Theydon Bois and has been a central part of community life since the 19th century. The present building reflects the Victorian period, yet it retains the warmth and welcoming character that continues to define it today. Its attractive stained glass windows and carefully maintained interior create a bright, uplifting atmosphere, making it both a place of worship and a space enjoyed by visitors.

Beyond its architectural features, St Mary’s plays an active role in the social and cultural life of Theydon Bois. Regular services are complemented by concerts, seasonal events, and community gatherings, which help to bring together residents of all ages. In this way, the church demonstrates how parish churches continue to adapt to modern needs while maintaining their historic role at the heart of village identity.

The church’s convenient location makes it particularly appealing for visitors. Just a short walk from Theydon Green and the edges of Epping Forest, it offers an ideal opportunity to combine heritage, community, and nature in one visit. St Mary’s remains a welcoming landmark that reflects the character and spirit of Theydon Bois.
