Welcome to our page for St Mary's, Fen Drayton.
St Mary's is open for services, typically on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month at 9.15am. Our Parish Church at Fenstanton has weekly services at 10.30am.
A local church which has served the needs of the village for over 800 years. We have joined the Huntingdon Deanery in 2018 and have merged with the parish of Fenstanton to form the single parish of Fen Drayton with Fenstanton. Our two churches are dedicated to SS Peter and Paul, and Mary (yes, really) and give our local communities choice and flexibility in their worship.
The Parish of Fen Drayton with Fenstanton is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). The Diocese of Ely’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Team who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact 01353 652747. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
