About St Mary Magdalene, East Castle Street, Bridgnorth
Welcome to St Mary Magdalene's Church in Bridgnorth, Thomas Telford's first church assignment.
Facing north-south, the church makes an impressive appearance at the end of East Castle Street |
Telford's two-storey windows result in a light, bright interior |
Its historical position, adjacent to the Castle Gardens, provides for wonderful wedding photograps |
We have lots going on at St Mary's, including Messy Church, outreach, house groups, bereavement support, marriage preparation, baptisms, confirmation classes, robed choir, young choristers, concerts, creche, prayer group, bellringers, Mothers' Union, school governors, daily stewarding, hospital chaplaincy, retirement home services, friendship lunches, drama and music, pulpit exchanges, Friends, study groups, lending library, and much fellowship!

The library shelves and history information boards | The Mothers' Union corner |
The Lady Chapel, where laying on of hands is offered during Sunday communion |
The kitchen, from where a rota of volunteers dispenses tea and coffee during fellowship after Sunday communion |
We have eight bells, the tenor being 8cwt; regularly ringing such methods as plain hunt and bob doubles; we practice Wednesday evenings, ring Sunday mornings, and are available for weddings! New ringers or trainees are welcome - we're a friendly bunch and you don't have to be a churchgoer. | Under the direction of our Organist and Director of Music, Dr John Turnock, our robed children's and adult choirs rehearse on Friday evenings, sing on Sunday mornings, and take part in many public performances in our church and elsewhere. New members - particularly male voices - of all ages, are very welcome. |
